Book reviewHead Games - By Keri Mikulski

Taylor Thomas is a total all-star on the court. Off-court, not so much. She may be model-tall, gorgeous and quite a catch, but try telling her that. With a showcase game and playoffs fast approaching, Taylor’s basketball career is totally on the line. She doesn’t know which way to turn first when her BFF ropes her into a fashion show and she finds herself torn between Zach, the super-tall, super-off limits basketball star and Matt, the super-sweet guy from her English class. Can Taylor stop her head from spinning long enough to strike a pose, land the boy of her dreams, and win the game?
Head Games was absolutely awesome! I adore Taylor and could relate to every part. The sport of basketball was written well. I like reading all the sports talk and enjoying how it entwined with Taylor's life. Ms Mikulski made all the sports talk easy to know. I for one, did not know much about basketball, but after reading this, I think I can go to a game and finally get it. This book is totally sweet, enduring, and full of great literature. I look forward to reading the rest of the series and learning more about sports. This fun and engaging novel would appeal to reluctant readers and to sporty girls ages 10-14 years. Even a non-basketball player like me could understand the plays and appreciate the drama.
