The Academy is an International Sports Mecca for teen athletes of all sports. There are only two ways in. Deep pockets or enough talent to score a scholarship. Young tennis star Maya's dreams have finally come true when she earns a scholarship to The Academy. Plucked from her small town, Maya moves to the sports training facility/boarding school to (hopefully) start the beginning of her pro career. But Maya's fantasy of The Academy doesn't quite match the reality. Because where there are hot, talented teens, there's a lot of drama. Meet the players:Cleo: Maya's rebel/punk roommate who is nearing the top of the golf world.Renee: The gorgeous swimmer with enough money to buy her way into The Academy.Nicole: A tennis star who feels threatened by Maya (but she'd never admit it).Travis: The son of The Academy owner--perfectly groomed to be the next NFL star. Jake: Travis' younger brother--the bad boy to his brother's good.

This should be in GM, actually. Kinda strange but why not. Feels a bit like Tyra Banks's fantasy book about models. :crying2: Has she already written a biography of hers?

Why is this on 'Non-Tennis'?
Because ultimately it is about a book? :confused: Mods can move it to GM if they want.

5 bucks says Maya ends up with Jake, who turns out to be the bad boy with a heart of gold to his conservative sell-out goody-two-shoes brother.
