The team's new assistant coach may actually have the pull to get Parmita a National Team tryout, but Parmita is uncomfortable with her coach's constant flirting and accidentally-on-purpose touching. After the coach guesses Parmita's secret about her sexuality and corners her in the locker room, Parmita has to decide how far she'll go to get a tryout.

Pay It Forward is an amazing story. Catherine Ryan Hyde writes from multiple points of view in order to add humor and perspective to an already touching plot. The tale revolves around Trevor, a 12-year-old from California, who accepts an extra-credit challenge from his social studies teacher. He is given a year to create and put into action a plan that will somehow change the world. Trevor comes up with an idea that he refers to as “paying it forward.” His project is based on selflessness and doing good for others, without expecting repayment. The book chronicles the spreading and influence of Trevor’s idea, which initiates a a chain-reaction of human goodwill felt in every part of the world. I was pleasantly surprised because not only is it funny and honest (to a fault), but it confirms that good can be found in every human being. Pay It Forward is well written and eye-opening. Marian Edelman once said, “We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee.” This story brings that concept to life in a simple and realistic way.
