Description

As seen on the Today show A work of fiction inspired by a true story, Matt Tavares’s debut graphic novel dramatizes the historic struggle for gender equality in high school sports. It is 1975 in Indiana, and the Wilkins Regional High School girls’ basketball team is in their rookie season. Despite being undefeated, they practice at night in the elementary school and play to empty bleachers. Unlike the boys’ team, the Lady Bears have no buses to deliver them to away games and no uniforms, much less a laundry service. They make their own uniforms out of T-shirts and electrical tape. And with help from a committed female coach, they push through to improbable victory after improbable victory. Illustrated in full color, this story about the ongoing battle of women striving for equality in sports rings with honesty, bravery, and heart. Read more

    • 11 year-old Loved this book
Literally made me teary-eyed! So important to have these types of books for girls! Wish there were more authors like this one. My 11 year-old daughter absolutely loved this book.

    • I love how the story is told, and seeing my history!
I was so excited to see this book, My niece, a librarian, saw this before it came out and alerted me. I attended summer basketball camp in elementary school, put on by some of these real players behind the characters in the book. Ironically, these were outdoor camps, not in a gym. Thankfully 5-6 years later, I became a Warsaw Lady Tiger Basketball player, thanks to the summer camps these players put on. It was my turn as a team member to help put on basketball camp... and it was held in a real gym. This book really is part of my heritage. I directly benefited from the work these team members put in to making women's basketball more equitable. It was cool to see the history and I hope in inspire more young athletes. -Lady Tiger Basketball, class of 1985. ... show more
