Fourteen-year-old Kayla Burbadge has had one tough life. She's lost
her parents, been forced to move from bustling Chicago to a small
Indiana farm town, and starts high school with no friends. How
tough is she? When a janitor sees her fighting an older boy who
made the mistake of picking on her, the janitor offers her a unique
opportunity. Reluctantly, Kayla accepts, and the new kid in school
becomes the first and only girl to compete in a male-dominated
environment. As Kayla battles her way through her new endeavor, her
self-confidence grows as she bonds with her new allies. Her
emotional growth helps her connect with her new family and display
empathy for other students who are suffering. In the end, she faces
a final pivotal challenge-a challenge that means not only a victory
for her, but a job for the mentor who believed in her. Reversal is
a realistic present-day novel which merges the genres of a
coming-of-age drama and action-driven sports story. The novel
explores the themes of family, home, community, unlikely heroes,
discovering one's voice, and finding one's equilibrium after a big
life event.
