Yet once she because a student at the academy (on a scholarship, no less!) she spent more time running around with boys, chasing popularity and fame. Maya wanted to become the best tennis player the world had seen. Not for someone like Maya who had applied for the fourth time and was set on going pro one day. Game On, while set at a sports academy didn’t involve as much tennis as I had hoped. Even better that this book revolved around tennis! Or so I thought. I wasn’t entirely sure if it was indeed her who authored the book. Naturally I was curious when I saw the name. If not for the former Word number 1’s 9 Grand Slam titles, then for the 1993 stabbing. Anyone who grew up in a household that almost always had tennis running on TV would’ve recognized her name. When I picked up Game On, I did so because I recognized the author’s name. Jake: Travis' younger brother–the bad boy to his brother's good

Travis: The son of The Academy owner–perfectly groomed to be the next NFL star. Nicole: A tennis star who feels threatened by Maya (but she'd never admit it). Renee: The gorgeous swimmer with enough money to buy her way into The Academy. Meet the players:Ĭleo: Maya's rebel/punk roommate who is nearing the top of the golf world. Because where there are hot, talented teens, there's a lot of drama.

But Maya's fantasy of The Academy doesn't quite match the reality. Plucked from her small town, Maya moves to the sports training facility/boarding school to (hopefully) start the beginning of her pro career. Young tennis star Maya's dreams have finally come true when she earns a scholarship to The Academy. Deep pockets or enough talent to score a scholarship.
