Bump

MJ has been struggling since her father died.  They had to move because her mom can't afford their old house anymore, and her mom works all the time.  She wasn't actually too upset about the move until she found out she'd still be attending the same school.  

MJ has done gymnastics for years, and she's actually pretty good, but the other girls on the team bully her constantly.  That's why she decided to quit this year.  Her mom doesn't get it, and MJ doesn't want to explain.

The only thing she's interested in right now is watching Lucha Dominion videos.  Everyone, including her mom, thinks wrestling is fake and a waste of time, but MJ is a little obsessed.  When she discovers her new next door neighbor, Mr. Arellano, actually owns a wrestling school, she can't believe her luck!

Her new mission is to join the school and train to become a wrestler, but it won't be easy.  She's the smallest person there by far, and her mom is not enthusiastic about the plan.  Just as MJ is starting to find her place at Victory Academy,  an inspector for the state athletic association shows up determined to ruin everything.  But MJ isn't going to just give up her new family so easily.

Matt Wallace's new book explores the world of wrestling from a different perspective, and it's an enjoyable read even if you have no interest in the sport.  The climax is a little ridiculous and the epilogue is a bit didactic, but this one will definitely find fans.
