A girl on the boys' wrestling team? It's unheard of. Why would 8th grader Maisie Potter even think of such a thing? She has a variety of reasons for wanting to be on the team. The coach isn't as enthusiastic as others about the prospect of having a girl on his squad. Some of the boys are openly hostile to Maisie. But Maisie is not a quitter.
