A review by mfumarolo
The Comeback by E.L. Shen

4.0

A charming and honest look at middle school through the eyes of a young student athlete. Maxine dreams of figure skating in the Olympics, but it's not always a fun journey. There's lots of balancing her school work, some jealousy with more talented competitors, and the challenges that can come with being a person of color in a not-very-diverse town and thus becomes the victim of bullying. I read this entire book in one sitting and was rooting for Max every step of the way!
