No Girls Allowed

This is such an inspirational book for young girls, as it shows what hard work and determination can accomplish. Despite being told she couldn't play hockey because there isn't a girl's team, Tina didn't give up, she worked to play the sport that she loved. This book is one that I will be recommending to the students that I work with, as I feel that it is beneficial for them to read.

An inspirational story for people of all ages! I grew up attending hockey games with my dad, but never playing because "it was for boys." I love that Tina and her family fought her right to play. This is a book that I'd love to see turned into a movie!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this copy in exchange for my honest review.

I received an ARC of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

What an inspirational story, and based on true events! I normally don't read middle grade, but I have a middle grade child who plays hockey, so I was moved to give this book a try. It did not disappoint.

The story is based on a true story of a girl who played hockey. She moved to Nova Scotia with her family in the 1970s and found that there was only a boy's hockey team, and girls could not play on it. She wanted to be treated equally and fought for her right to play. It's inspirational and shows readers about discrimination in a way that is easy to understand.

A nice, inspiring story!

I'm a big fan of hockey, and I love stories that show that girls can do all that boys can. I love the fact that this was written in a way that presents subjects that may be difficult for young people to understand in an clear manner without talking down to the reader. And I also love that it includes examples of other, real women who challenge the system in front of them and won.

I think the best part of this book is the fact that it doesn't show Tina as being different from the girls around her. She learns that her friends also go through being treated differently just because they are girls, and that they also want to do things that the adults around them don't think they are able to do, and she uses that to empathize with her peers. I think it sets a great example of how being open to learning about others can help you to relate.

I definitely took things away from this, and I think that a lot of young people, especially girls, can too!

I picked out his book because my 9 year old granddaughter took to the ice at 5 and fell in love with ice hockey. Being the a girl and the only child who even plays ice hockey in her class, I wanted her know more about another girl ice hockey player who struggles and overcomes. My poor son drives an hour each way 2-3 times a week so she can practice and play on a co-ed traveling tri-state team.(OH, WV, KY) Next year the team will go all boys and she will have issues.

The book was bit hard for her to read alone. Reading together we enjoyed.

Oh, this little girl is a Ohio State girls hockey fan. Plans on going to Ohio State. I hope she is part of the 2030 Olympics as the goalie.

This was fun. I wish I had a young girl in my life to buy this for. The girl power was just *chef’s kiss* amazing! Would recommend to readers of any age.
