I like that we got to see both sister's points of view. It kept me from being totally one just Charlie's side, although I really felt for her. I liked that we actually got to see a lot of playing and not just hear about it afterwards. Charlie was tough on the outside, but really needed a friend. And Krista needed to put her needs and wants above what would be the popular thing to do. I enjoyed that this wasnt a romance, it was about a sisterly bond and knowing what's important.

PrettyTOUGH eBook Nicole Leigh Shepherd Reviews
My daughter greatly enjoyed the book and I liked that the girls in the story were serious athletes and worked so hard at their sport. My only caution is that the book was actually too old for her (she is 10) - not in reading difficulty but in some of the content. The high school situations were fairly tame, but still more advanced than she needed to be thinking about (boyfriends pressuring for sex!). She confessed to me partway through that it was somewhat inappropriate for her, and, after reading it myself, I did let her finish it, but somewhat reluctantly. It sparked some worthwhile conversations, but these conversations could have waited at least 2 years. I wish I had known before I bought it for her - and before my mom bought her 2 of the other "Pretty Tough" books. I would have waited 2 years and then it would have been good for her.
Taken from my blog [..]
Pretty Tough is a great book about sisters, soccer, and finding your place. Liz Tigelaar is an author I haven't heard much about but one that I will be watching from now on.
Charlie Brown has not had the best couple of years. She has no friends, can barely stand her sister, and there is no sign of anything changing in the near future. All that changes when Martie Reese recruits Charlie for the varsity soccer team. At first, soccer is a way to steal the spotlight from her sister but then things change. Can Charlie really have everything soccer, friends, and even a boy? Or is it really too good to last?
Charlie and Krista Brown were not very good protagonists to begin with. Both were whiny and immature. It took a while for them to change at all but I eventually grew to like them. I liked their friends a lot more and I really wished they played bigger parts in the story.
The soccer was the best part of the book. I don't know anything about soccer but the games and practices were all so detailed it felt like I had been playing the game my whole life. The soccer really just tied everything together.
Overall, Pretty Tough is a great start to this series. I loved the sports, guys, and girl power. I can't wait to dig in to the next book in the series.
I can relate to this book so much because I am a athlete and have to be on my sister's team a lot. GREAT BOOK 5 STARS
I loved the book and u should change anything else. I hope u make another book about soccer from camy
okay, wow. Charlie was a surfer and then Mattie, the new coach of girls varsity soccer recruited her and then she had friends! And a sister! And a sense of belonging!! But still that awful name... thanks Krista. But it did give fans a chance to play the peanuts theme song...
Anyway...great book! Get it. Got it. Good.
I love this book. About two sisters who are rivals. Krista is bubbliy, popular, and who has a hard standing up for what's right and dealing with the pressures from her boyfriend wanting her to give up her virginity. Charlie would prefer tackling the waves instead of being in school. She has to put up with her former best friend. Eventually, these girls are forced to work with each other. I would highly recommend this book.
Sisters Charlie and Krista Brown do not get along. Krista is the perfect child, popular and a star soccer player with a movie star best friend and a quarterback boyfriend. Charlie (yes, her name is Charlie Brown) is a rebel, a surfer who hates her sister and everything she stands for. When the new soccer coach recruits Charlie to try out, Krista is furious, and Charlie's only trying out to torture her sister. Can these sisters put their differences aside long enough to do what's best for the team?
Pretty Tough is a great book about sisters, sports, and girl power. The point of view alternates between Krista and Charlie, both of whom have good reason to distrust each other. Krista isn't nearly as confident as she appears, and Charlie is a talented underachiever deeply hurt by her falling out with her sister. The soccer team gives them a chance to heal the breach, and the confidence to change their lives off the field. It's refreshing to read about contemporary girls who are interested in something other than boys, especially since sports is such an important part of so many students' lives. I really enjoyed this book, and recommended it for any teens who want read about strong girls.
