Nicci is 'n willewragtig op 'n bergfiets. Die heel lekkerste is om die seuns se
reaksie te sien wanneer hulle besef 'n meisie het vir hulle weggery. Tot die dag
wat Nicci wreed aangeval en van haar fiets beroof word. Haar wêreld tuimel
ineen. Wie sal so iets doen? Stuk-stuk pas Nicci en haar vriende Felicity en
Donovan die legkaart inmekaar, en wat hulle uitvind toets hulle geloof in hulle
medemens, en hulle eie waardes. Die boek daag ook geslags- en
verhoudingstereotipes speels en slim uit. Nicci is ewe goed in ballet en
bergfietsry, maar omdat sy 'n meisie is, verwag haar ouers en onderwysers dat sy
vanselfsprekend ballet sal kies. Haar oë gaan ook oop oor die ou op wie sy verlief
is, wat eintlik maar net 'n modelmooi meisie soek vir wie voorkoms en wat ander
mense van haar dink, mees belangrik is. Sy vind in Donovan 'n ware vriend wat
haar toelaat om haarself te wees.
High school sophomore Annie Smith is just hoping to live a
normal life after she moves from Arkansas to the quiet little town
of Reston, Texas. But it does not take long for her new friends to
figure out that Annie is anything but normal. Annie's goal is to
fly under the radar drawing as little attention to herself as
possible. But she soon discovers that being normal does not always
bring happiness.
Melinda "Chip" Fullerton is a gifted athlete with two wishes-to
be taller and to be on a good team for once. As she starts her
junior year of high school, it looks like both her wishes will go
unfulfilled-until Annie shows up. Immediately suspicious of Annie's
baggy clothes and athletic abilities, Chip enlists Luke Slowinski,
sports editor for the school newspaper, to do some undercover
sleuth work that eventually reveals the truth: Annie is not who she
appears to be.
This is a story that illustrates the importance of building
character as well as talent, Annie soon learns that a new beginning
is all she needs to finally embrace her true self.
