Review Quotes:
★ "Fast Break does something many middle grade books aspire to do: it is relatable while advocating for a cause that matters to youth. Joshi has outdone herself. Not only is she raising awareness about the lack of healthy options at schools across the country, but through Arjun's experience she makes the issue worth caring about without being didactic or righteous. An astonishingly immersive, relevant, and evergreen read."
