Description

Julie Albright doesn't want to move away from her San Francisco neighborhood near Chinatown, even if their new apartment is just a few miles away. Moving means leaving her best friend, Ivy, and her pet rabbit, Nutmeg. Worst of all, it means leaving Dad, now that her parents are divorced. Julie tries to make the best of it by joining the school’s basketball team, but the coach won’t allow girls to play. She learns that it’s up to her to make positive changes in her new school--and her new life. The "Looking Back" section discusses the women’s movement, divorce and other issues of the turbulent 1970s.

Maybe I don't like this as much because it's an American Girl I'm reading while I'm older? Whatever the reason, this book seemed a little boring to me. It had some interesting points, but mostly it's just her running around trying to be on the basketball team. It wasn't exciting at all. The big climax wasn't very engaging. Mostly when I was reading I was thinking, "Huh, that stinks. Well, I guess that's cool. When does this chapter end? I want to get back to my Star Wars book."The writing itself was a little bland. Not many creative synonyms were used and it was rather dull.I suppose if this had been a longer book, say 200-300 pages, I wouldn't have liked it at all. But it being only about 100 pages, I think it was a nice quick read, but nothing more.
