From the back cover:
Eric's smile is so dazzling, Maisie is willing to do anything to be near him - even join the school wrestling team. But she is astonished at the avalanche of hostile opinion she provokes in and out of school. Id Eric worth it? Not if he keeps dating Liz ("Lizard") Lampley! The sign in the coach's office says, "It takes a little more to be a champion." Does Maisie have what it takes to stick it out - and win?

This book was on the Sequoyah Book Award Masterlist for Children/Young Adults for the year 1994.
Sponsored by the Oklahoma Library Association (OLA), the annual Sequoyah Book Award is a student’s choice award presented since 1959. The program added a Young Adult literature award in 1987. Books chosen for the annual Sequoyah masterlist are selected by two committees of OLA members. Each member of the committee reads over 100 books before recommending titles for the masterlists.
During the school year, young Oklahomans from grades three through junior high are encouraged to read the titles from the masterlist. Students must read or listen to three books in order to cast a vote. The winning book is announced in February and the award is presented during the annual Oklahoma Library Association’s spring conference.
With this award, Oklahoma honors the Native American leader, Sequoyah, for his unique achievement in creating the Cherokee syllabary. In so doing, he created a way to preserve his people’s language and culture.

Well, I will have to say that this book is interesting. I liked the idea and the subject matter and it definately made for a cute story. About the only thing that I didn't like was I felt that some of the underlying story lines were a little weak and that some of the other characters and plotlines needed more development. All in all, I think this book is a good one and one that I would recommend to others.
