Book Review - We Are the Wildcats

📖Recommend for Grades 9 and up📖
by Siobian Vivian
The Wildcat varsity field hockey squad was undefeated until last season. Now, 24 hours until their first scrimmage and the start of a new season, the girls have a chance to start over. They think that their annual psych up night will be just like any other until they discover their coach swapped their jersey for the practice pinnies. Now, the girls find themselves on a wild night of hijinks in order to prove to their coach they have what it takes to be Wildcats, unaware of just how much influence he has over the night and them.

Told in alternating chapters of six different players' perspectives and told over just 24 hours will have readers wondering what will happen next. While the book is about a lacrosse team, this book has very little to do about the sport itself. This story is more about the girls themselves and the bonds they have created and will. Each girl is both flawed and realistic, which aids the story. Readers should be aware the coach in this book is toxic, and his texting with two girls on the team is inappropriate but safe to be read by teens.
