PrettyTough

The two Brown sisters, Charlie and Krista, used to do everything together, they used to play soccer together, go to birthday parties and even paint their nails together, but then everything changed... It must have been that one day in the cafeteria 3 years ago, Charlie's best friend at the time, Regan, made fun of Charlie and insulted her in front of everybody, and Krista just sat there scared to do the right thing. Ever since Charlie and Krista have gone their separate ways, Charlie quit soccer to do surfing, but Krista still played soccer. One day Charlie was asked to try out for their school soccer team for their school, Beachwood. Charlie took the spot on the team thinking it would tick Krista off, but did it really bring them closer together?

This book should be put on everyones list who has a young female athelete. It would make a wonderful Xmas gift for every sportsminded girl. Finally there is something for girls when prior to this there was only things that were boy oriented. KUDOS to PRETTY TOUGH. GIRLS CAN BE PRETTY AND TOUGH. MS

Pretty Tough is a must read for everyone --- if you are an athlete or a sister, you will definitely relate to it. I read this book from start to finish - you won't be able to put it down! Liz Tigelaar wrote an amazing story with such a meaningful ending! The best book I've read this summer!!!

Whoo hoo. Finally a book about real girls. Not those stuck up wannabes. I loved everything about this book - the characters, the sports, the dialogue and especially the end. Liz is truly a great writer. I'll read anything she writes.

Pretty Tough is a fantastic read. Ms. Tigelaar provides an outstanding account of young women learning about life and the importance of teamwork that young people and adults alike can enjoy. I highly recommend this book!
