"Set in the coastal town of Danvers, Massachusetts, where the accusations began that led to the 1692 Salem witch trials, We Ride Upon Sticks follows the 1989 Danvers High School Falcons field hockey team, who'll do anything to make it to the state finals--even if it means tapping into some devilishly dark powers ... 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 important, friendship"--Dust jacket flap.
