"Here Easton offers up a cheeky, girl-centric counterpoint to his acclaimed Boys Don't Knit (2015). Lighthearted and irreverent , this British import is a feminist sports story rooted in humor. Readers will enjoy watching smart-mouthed Fleur gain confidence as a boxer and as a young woman, and the always-popular underdog sports narrative will attract many readers. "-- Booklist "As Fleur learns to keep her guard up and hit as well as defend, Easton's signature humor delivers plenty of stylistic punches along the way, demonstrating that feminism can be funny even while the book offers genuine inspiration for girls to join the fight. "- -Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "Full of funny moments, this sequel features a quick-witted young woman discovering herself by embracing possibilities and trying something new. An author's note speaks to Easton's understanding of his bias and male privilege, which may assuage some readers' concerns. VERDICT Especially alongside its predecessor, it's a real one-two punch. Many will want to consider as a first purchase.
