When you're 12 years old and 6 foot tall, people ask the most annoying questions. The #1 Most Annoying Question according to Alma T. Best is, 'Do you play basketball?'

Uh, no. She hates basketball.

Then Alma wins a scholarship to attend Holy Grace, a fancy, basketball-obsessed girls' school, and she worries about fitting in.

Rather than admit she lives in Shellsville, home to Holy Grace's biggest basketball rivals, she pretends to have grown up on a distant peach farm.

But when a twist of fate means Alma has to suddenly produce large quantities of peaches, she finds herself in a bit of a jam...

Out of Bounds (The Too-Tall Tales of Alma T. Best, #1) by Katherine Collette is a captivating story about navigating new environments and discovering one's true self amidst amusing and challenging circumstances.
