“Very good book about this girl, Savvy, who moved to a different state and is in LOVE with basketball. She is a very tall girl and is amazing at basketball!!!! She tries out for the 18 and under basketball team and makes it! but her coach says she to boost her game to be a starter for her team. Her sister, Callie, is a freshman cheerleader who gained some weight over the summer and needs to loose some weight to be one of the cheerleaders who gets lifted. Savvy and Calie both need to BOOST their game to keep on their teams.”

“Savvy Christopher and her older sister, Callie, each have their own "one thing," and when they move from Arizona to Rhode Island, that's what they rely on to help them adjust. Savvy quickly shows her stuff when, not yet in high school, she is accepted on the elite 18-and-under basketball team. Callie's passion is cheerleading, but stress has caused her to gain weight, and she is devastated to find that she no longer qualifies to be one of the fliers on the squad at her new school. She goes on a strict exercise and diet regime, and Savvy, realizing how quickly her sister is losing weight, brings it to the attention of their parents. They put a stop to Callie's use of over-the-counter diet aids, which does nothing to improve the already strained relationship between the sisters. In October, one of Savvy's basketball games is interrupted by a detective who has been alerted to a bag of steroids in her locker. She insists that they are not her pills, but the fact that she has been on prednisone for a bad case of poison ivy does not help her case. Savvy and her coach are temporarily suspended, and Savvy finds that even close friends regard her innocence with some doubt.”

“I thought Boost was extremely good. It didn't have any slow parts, so you it made you want to keep reading it until the end. Also it builds up alot of suspense throughout the book & it makes you wonder how it will end. & it talks about real life problems that may happen in sports for people our age, so you find yourself being able to relate to the book quite a bit.”
