Chess, girl power, and performance anxiety collide in this engaging middle grade debut. May Li's team has won the state championship, earning her a spot at nationals, but also sparking jealousy from some teammates. To prove herself, May makes a bold bet: she'll win the school's internal tournament against her teammate Ralph. As expectations mount, May starts to crumble under pressure. Her anxiety affects her performance, and she begins to question whether playing for fun is possible when winning is at stake. With the stakes high, May must navigate her feelings and find a way to stay true to herself in the game she loves. Can May regain her passion for chess and emerge victorious? This heartwarming story explores the challenges of competition, friendship, and staying true to oneself.
