Join this elite team of girls who care as much about each other as they do about winning.
Zoe Alamandar has one goal: win the State Field Hockey Championships and earn a scholarship that will get her out of Central New York. She and her co-captain Ava Cervantes have chosen and trained a fierce team of girls ready to win.
After Zoe is sexually assaulted at a party, Zoe and her ride-or-die teammates take justice into their own hands.
But one night of vigilantism may cost Zoe her team, the championship, her scholarship, and her future.
From debut author Emma Kress comes a novel that is propulsive, electrifying, and high-stakes.
“Debut author Kress nimbly alternates between heart-pounding field hockey scenes and social commentary, acknowledging, unlike many books about rape culture, that classism and racism intersect with and compound misogyny. ”
“Vibrant, daring, and deep, Dangerous Play is both a thrilling ride and a profound exploration of female friendship, rape culture, and the difficulty of doing the right thing in a world built on wrongs. An unflinching and empowering debut.”
“Kress’s fierce characters show that, together, girls can be something bigger. Their story shows how loyalty, dedication, and an occasional bent rule can make the world a better place.”
“Dangerous Play is impossible to put down. It’s full of fierce girls fighting back, and has all the conversations I wish we’d had in high school.”
