We Ride Upon Sticks by Quan Barry

3.0

There’s so much I love about this book - Barry really crafted a delightful group of characters who embrace magic in an attempt to become state field hockey champs. Barry has a great sense of humor, and there were several points WRUS made me laugh out loud. However, the prose was a bit too dense and there was almost too much in this book. I think some editing would have made it so much stronger. I started to lose track of the plot and characters by the end. I also don’t love a “where are they now” wrap up, but did appreciate to hear how all the characters were leading lives as their authentic selves. Life really has changed a lot since the late 80s.
