Set to Serve

By Kacy Carter

Lauren is a junior high student with some challenges in her life. In her spare time, she plays volleyball on a Rec League team, but at the start of the season, she doesn't know a single soul on the team. Even worse, she's far from a pro, shorter than the rest of the team and even struggling to serve the ball over the net most of the time. Back home, she's given a difficult time by her neighbor because she doesn't attend a public school. Finding wholesome and appropriate chapter books for young girls can be a pretty difficult choice nowadays, especially if you're looking for a sport's story to appeal to their hobbies. Set To Serve manages to not only fill that gap as an entertaining story, but also shows how one girl manages to overcome both physical and social difficulties. It's a must read for any girl that's struggling with her own social or sports abilities.

Kacy Carter

Kacy Carter writes from her experience as a mom of teenage daughters. She got her idea for Set to Serve from watching the interactions of girls on her daughter's volleyball team. The book is meant to be entertaining for girls who love sports, but Kacy also hopes the book will encourage them to know that being different and even imperfect can be used for good.
