About This Book
Maisie goes out for wrestling to get close to Eric, the boy of her dreams, but she soon finds out that she loves wrestling. Most of the boys hate having her on the team — one boy quits and some of the others write nasty letters to the newspaper. Still, Maisie sticks it out, and finally wins the respect of the team.About the Authors or Illustrators
Jerry Spinelli won the Newbery Medal for Maniac Magee, the sixth of his more than fifteen acclaimed books for young readers. Growing up, he wanted to be a shortstop in the majors long before it occurred to him to be a writer. Crash came out of his desire to include the beloved PennRelays of his home state of Pennsylvania in a book. And, of course, to show the world a little bit about athletes and what makes some of them tick.
