Bookroo's summary
Eighth-grader Layla faces a tough challenge: balancing her passion for volleyball with rising academic pressures. With her algebra grade slipping, her spot on the high school team is at risk. Will she find a way to excel in both arenas, or will her dreams be benched? As Layla navigates this critical year, she must decide what she's willing to sacrifice to achieve her goals. Can she score both on the court and in the classroom, or will one have to give?
From the publisher
Until now, Layla has balanced her school work and volleyball easily enough. In eighth grade, though, academic expectations are tougher. Student-athletes need at least a C average in all classes to play sports. When Layla’s dedication to volleyball puts her algebra grade at risk, her chances of making the high school freshman team next year are on the line. Can she find a way to ace her classes like she does on the court?
