Summary: There's A Girl In My Hammerlock
Review: There's A Girl In My Hammerlock is written by Jerry Spinelli. The publisher is Half Moon Books. It is about a girl named Maisie who tries out for the cheer squad, but doesn't make it. Then to get a little closer to Eric Delong, she goes out for the wrestling team and makes it, despite everyone really dsen't want her to. The main characters are Maisie a girl who strives for what she wants, Eric, Liz's boyfriend, Liz, a true cheerleader, her family, the wrestling team and finally Tank, P.K Maisie's litlle sister's best bud. There was a little suspense. For example, how was Maisie going to do on the wresting team? Exacly how close was she going to get to Eric? I would like to recommend this book because it tells how Maisie had courage and struggled to get her way even though it was hard, as a woman.

Summary: There's a Girl in My Hammerlock
Review: There's a Girl in my Hammerlock was written by Jerry Spinelli and it was published in 1991. Spinelli has written other books, such as Maniac Magee, Crash, Wringer, and Stargirl.
This book is a very good book and I highly recommend it because it isn't one of those books where the main character isn't absolutely perfect. It has just the right balance of comedy and reality, which makes it so that it never gets boring or cheesey!
There's a Girl in My Hammerlock is about a girl named Maisie Potter. At first Maisie is a normal active girl, and then came Eric Delong. She tried to get close to him by trying out for the cheerleading squad. When she doesn't make the squad she tries a different approach; she tries out for the formally all-male wrestling team. She gets ridiculed, criticized and embarrassed. By this time, she's gotta quit, right? WRONG!!! Maybe a "normal" girl would, but Maisie Potter is no normal girl! Maisie is the girl who won the "Most Outstanding Female Athlete" award. Maisie Potter is the girl who really knows how to drive a basketball down the court. Maisie Potter is the head-strong girl, the one girl who ever even dared to try out for the traditionally all-boy wrestling team! Well, for Maisie Potter it's time to break tradition! I would recommend this book to anyone who likes books about independince and loyalty.

Summary: I really liked this book!
Review: This was a great book because it appealed to every kind of reader. It had suspense, romance, violence (to a certain degree), and humor. At first when I started reading this book, I thought it was just going to be about some wrestler who has a hard time. However, the author really does a good job of putting you in the main characters place. She also used very descriptive words that gave you a mental picture of what was going on in the story. If I had to recommend one book I would recommend There's a Girl in my Hammerlock by Jerry Spinneli because I know it would entertain whatever style of reading that person had. The genre of this book was contemporary realism.

Review: Tiffany ****There's a Girl in my Hammerlock was written by Jerry Spinelli, it is about a girl named Maise Potter who try's out for the wrestling team. Does she succeed?
You will have to read it to get the rest of the storie. Masie also try's out for the team because of the handsome Eric Delong. Does she win him? You will also have to read the book to find out that information. I would recomend this to people who like suspense,and like funny and very humorous books.
