8-10 Junior/Middle
A first book by this author which promises well for those to come. Sports Day rivalry is the theme, but what could have been a cliché is given a twist (literally - but my lips are sealed) before the happy ending. the language is natural and easy to read, but the plot is challenging enough for 8-10 year-olds.
