A slice of life, coming-of-age graphic novel about Black, Brown, Asian, & Hawaiian girls existing in their 9th-grade year of high school. The girls all bond through basketball and learning the game together. There are great conversations in this, especially about girl's sports teams not being seen as important as opposed to boy's teams. The illustrations were beautiful and intricate!

However, the cast of characters was very large and I tended to get confused at times trying to keep up with the large cast. 

I really enjoyed this one!
