Juice (Orca Soundings) Book Review and Ratings by Kids - Eric Walters

Juice is a compelling story about the pressures and temptations that are faced by many in the competitive world of high-school athletics. No one expects Jujube to fight back when her reputation takes a beating. Jujube is thrilled when Brent asks her out. She is not so happy when the rumors start flying at school. Pretty soon her name is showing up on bathroom walls and everyone is snickering and sniping. Deciding that someone has to take a stand, Jujube gathers all the other girls who are labelled sluts—and worse—and tries to impress on her fellow students the damage that can be done by assigning a label that reduces a person to an object.

Set in an unspecified town that could stand for any small town in the United States or Canada, Juice tells the story of a high school football team that is tempted by the devil of the sports world: An only child with a single mother, Michael struggles to keep a 70 percent average in his classes so he can continue to play ball.

Upon meeting Tony, the strength trainer and personal assistant to Coach Barnes, Michael is easily persuaded to do whatever it takes to become stronger, and he begins taking steroids. Very shortly after this incident, the old coach returns, bringing news that Coach Barnes and his assistant Tony are the subjects of a police investigation surrounding the illegal possession, use and sale of steroids.

Michael will not be charged for using steroids, and the team will return to their original ways. Granted, hi-lo books are known as high interest books that rarely surpass pages, but the reader feels as if threads of the story have been missed or hurried through — for example, what will happen to Coach Barnes and his assistant?
