Y’all. This book. Is about. FIELD HOCKEY WITCHES.
FIELD HOCKEY WITCHES!!!!!
Has there ever been a book more geared toward ME? (See below pic for reference.)
Anyway, this story is set in 1989, where the much-losing varsity field hockey team at Danvers High takes a little inspiration from their town's history—Danvers, of course, being where most of the witch trials actually took place. I loved everything about this book—the first person plural narrative voice that nonetheless lets all the girls (and one boy) shine, their camaraderie and rivalries, how funny parts of this are and how satisfying all of it is, how it speaks to truth about the teen girl experience. Seriously, this book is GREAT and I recommend it highly, even if you didn’t play high school field hockey. A.
