Fab hi-lo book centered around volleyball and female teen manipulation. Solid conflict with believable dialogue. Readers' Advisory will be key in getting this book to the right readers.

A volleyball star – and the rest of her team – have to suffer a bitchy new player on the roster, and the weirdly successful 'game' she invents, that takes the school by storm. So on the one hand you have people seeking old school team cohesion and abiding by the rules, and on the other you have trial by mobile phone footage and the modern, almost social media-driven phenomenon. And the balance is a pretty good one – although if you don't know or like the sport concerned this could well be a struggle. For me, three and a half stars does kind of acknowledge I'm not the intended reader here.
