Title: Beyond the Lines | Author: Claudia Whitsitt | Publisher: Claudia Whitsitt Publication Date: February 27, 2016 | Genre: Middle Grade Fiction | Number of Pages: 260
Book Description: The Dream Girls—Hattie, Crackers, and Beverly Jo—are back with the same determination and resolve they displayed in Between the Lines. This time, it’s Crackers who has a dream. She has oodles of talent, can outshoot any guy, and she wants to be the first girl on the boys’ basketball team. Everybody knows she’s the best player at school. The problem is, the rules say: No girls allowed on the team. Ever. But the Dream Girls have challenged old-fashioned notions before, and they’re not about to give up now. Beverly Jo rocks the world with an ingenious plan, Hattie sets the wheels in motion, and Crackers gives her all. For this threesome, nothing is impossible.

Excerpt
Crackers walks me home in a blistery wind. I can’t seem to use my cane right, I’m all out of sync with the stepping and the tapping, so I just grip her arm. Plus, the sidewalk is icy, and I’m nervous about falling.
“I’m not joking,” Crackers says. “You can’t tell your Mom. If she finds out about Matt and Beverly, she’ll have a canary. She finally warmed up to the idea of you having a black friend, but once she knows Matt and Beverly are an item, she’ll never let Beverly back in your house.”
