We Ride Upon Sticks
A Novel
Quan Barry
In this enchanting novel, a high school field hockey team in Danvers, Massachusetts discovers that the dark impulses of their Salem ancestors may be the key to a winning season. Set in the '80s, the Danvers Falcons defy society's expectations of femininity to find their true selves and dominate on the field. With wit and heart, Quan Barry weaves together individual and collective journeys in a story that is both comic and moving.

3. Another debut: WE RIDE UPON STICKS by Quan Barry. Stir together one public-school varsity field hockey team (girls, duh; it's the US), a spooky corner of Massachusetts, and the late 1980s and you'll have the starter for Barry's unusual, feminist coming-of-age saga. – source
