Game Changer Paperback - 2013

by Margaret Peterson Haddix

While playing in the championship softball game, star pitcher KT Sutton blacks out and awakes to a changed world where the roles of academics and sports at her middle school have flipped, making talented athletes, such as KT, outcasts and brainy nerds popular.


Summary

What if school was sports, and sports were school? A talented teen athlete questions realityâÈ'and the role she plays in itâÈ'when a mysterious injury upends her world.

Athletics are everything for eighth-grader KT Sutton. SheâÈçs a softball star, and sheâÈçs on track to get a college scholarship and achieve international fame. Then one day during a championship gameâÈ'in the middle of an important playâÈ'she suddenly blacks out.

When she wakes up, sheâÈçs in a different world. One where school is class after class of athletic drills, and after-school sports are replaced by popular academic competitions. One where KT is despised for her talent, and where her parents are fixated on her brotherâÈçs future mathletics career rather than KTâÈçs softball hopes.

KT is desperate to get back to reality as she knew it, but bits and pieces of disturbing memories and dreams make her wonder if something truly awful happened there. What if sheâÈçs lost something a lot more important than a softball game?

From New York Times bestselling author of Sent and Sabotaged, an engaging and highly relevant exploration of societyâÈçs debate of smarts versus sports.
