Summary:

"Helmed by good-girl captain Abby Putnam (a descendant of the infamous Salem accuser Ann Putnam) and her co-captain Jen Fiorenza (whose bleached blond "Claw" sees and knows all), the Falcons prove to be wily, original, and bold, flaunting society's stale notions of femininity in order to find their glorious true selves through the crucible of team sport and, more importantly, friendship."--Provided by publisher.
The 1989 Danvers Falcons are on an unaccountable winning streak. The high school team is on their way to the Massachusetts state championship, helmed by good-girl captain Abby Putnam and her co-captain Jen Fiorenza. As they flaunt society's stale notions of femininity in order to find their glorious true selves through the crucible of team sport, the team taps into the devilishly dark powers of their infamous Salem ancestors. -- adapted from jacket
