Sword of a Champion: The Story of Sharon Monplaisir

by Doreen Greenberg, Michael Greenberg

A dreamer from the wrong neighborhood, Sharon Monplaisir had always been teased at school for her hand-me-down clothes and her giant glasses. She felt more comfortable with her books about exotic places and exciting adventures. Sharon had read about sword fighting and great warriors in her books, but she didn't know if she'd be brave enough to even go to the first day of practice for the school fencing team. Little did she know that walking through the gym doors would change her life forever.

A great book if you are an 8 year old I suppose. The language is very basic and the structure seemed contrived at times.

Perhaps I'm being too harsh having just completed the boys in the boat and am subconsciously comparing :)
