About the book
Tory knew it wasn't nice, but she felt it was right. Tory Travis just wanted to play ball. But little things started to get to her. The boys' team went by in a bus while Tory and her teammates were squished into a station wagon. The boys were budgeted for uniforms while the girls had to have a bake sale to raise the money. But her mother and Kenny remind her that nice girls don't make fusses. Only Jonathon is on Tory's side. He's on her side when she comes up with a plan to change things. But Tory knows that if she's going to battle the school board, she risks losing the support of the people she loves the most. [text from book jacket]
