We Ride Upon Sticks by Quan Barry


The players on the 1989 varsity field hockey team of Danvers, Massachusetts, will do anything to win the state championship—even add their names to an Emilio Estevez notebook, tie a piece of blue sock around their arms, and dabble in black magic and troublemaking. We Ride Upon Sticks is a powerful story of friendship and teamwork told in a unique group narration from sometime in the future. Nostalgic and delightfully funny, this is a novel I absolutely loved.
