2021 book 45

 Quan Barry's We Ride Upon Sticks

Rereading this for book club, and I liked it just as much the second time (always a relief!). Barry pulls of a story about the 1989 girls' field hockey team in Danvers Massachusetts that's also a story about friendship and teamwork and dreams and identity and witchcraft. Great sense of time and place, and all the characters come alive (especially impressive in a large cast narrated by the first person plural). Can’t wait to discuss this.
