Book Reviews of In These Girls, Hope is a Muscle
Book Review: This book was facinating and I couldn't stop reading it!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I decided to read this book because my favorite player in the WNBA is JAMILA WIDEMAN, and she is the main character in this outstanding bood. I was shocked to know that there was actually someone, Jamila, who could inspire me so much to the point where I don't care about anything but basketball. My favorite sentence/ quote in this book is: "I'm bustin' mine...so I can kick yours!" This is what I believe describes my feelings towards basketball now that I've had the experience of reading this facinating book. Now I know for a fact that Jamila Wideman is my altime favorite idol because everytime I read something about her in the book I would either get goose-bumps all over or feel happy inside. I believe that Jamila is a very smart and talented person who helped lead her high school team, the Amherst Hurricanes, to a victory that was so fanominal that I almost cried when I read it, and I don't even know them! This book doesn't just focus on the girls basketball team, but it also shared a little bit about their personal life. The Hurricanes were/are an awesome team and never gave up hope, even if they were down by 15 points! The spirit and motivation they had was unbelievable and one could only wish for a team like that! Overall, this book isn't just about the Amherst girls basketball team, but it also showed how girls have just as much motivaion and heart, if not more, than boys. No matter how big the opponents croud was, they seemed to ignore them and perform even bigger and louder! I recommend this book to anyone and everyone!
Thank you for your time!
Jamila's biggest fan,
Leah Arnold
