An all-gender, full-contact game, Quidditch isnt quite what Ellen expects. Theres no flying, no magic, just a bunch of scrappy players holding PVC pipe between their legs and throwing dodgeballs. Suddenly Ellen is thrown into the very different world of sports: her life is all practices, training, and running with a group of Harry Potter fans.</p><p>Even as Melissa pulls away to pursue new relationships and their other BFF Xiumiao seems more interested in moving on from high school (and from Ellen), Ellen is steadily finding a place among her teammates. Maybe Quidditch is where she belongs.</p><p>But with her home life and friend troubles quickly spinning out of control--Ellen must fight for the future that she wants, now shes playing for keeps.</p><p>Filled with heart and humor, Anna Merianos YA debut is perfect for fans of <em>Dumplin</em> and <em>Hot Dog Girl</em>.</p><p><strong>Praise for <em>This is How We Fly</em>:</strong></p><p><strong></strong>Readers will find much to appreciate about Ellens fresh, relatable journey to define herself on her own terms. --<strong><em>Publishers Weekly</em> (starred review)</strong></p><p>A timely coming-of-age story with a unique Quidditch twist.--<em><strong>School Library Journal</strong></em></p><p>Anna Merianos <em>This is How We Fly</em> is a delightful treat of a book that will make you want to grab your broom and go!
