Convince us to read the book: Shutout is an interesting story about a girl wanting to play soccer and working to play varsity for her school. The girl displays admirable characteristics, learning to deal with different social situations, work on improving something she wants to do, and displaying moral responsibility that is sometimes lacking in similar novels.
Compelling Aspect of the Book: Amanda is a courageous girl, concentrated on her sport, who plays high school soccer, and faces many obstacles, but manages to overcome many of them. Dealing with finding her inner self, she displays remarkable social capabilities and is written in an addicting format.
Cover: The cover has promise! I like the grass green, like a soccer field. The silhouettes create a more engaging cover, and inspire the reader to pick it up and read it.
