Synopse:
"...volleyball is making me work and struggle, and it has been changing my life... after all, I have difficulties to excel as a player. I was not born perfect. And I have difficulties as it is, independently of being an athlete... I fear big crowds, shake before a full gymnasium and when facing important things, such as making a decision... at the same time, these things challenge me and I want to overcome them..."

Not falling into the temptation of creating a hero, Julia, the main character in this book, is a very good-hearted girl and typical teen; she has all doubts and crises that are peculiar to her age. Lino de Albergaria adds to his significant juvenile literary production this sensible book whose theme is under exploited: sports. And, it is done in an appropriate language for its readers: agile, frank, moving and challenging.
