Half the Field Is Mine

by Swati Sengupta

Oli and Champa are best friends who love football, even though Oli's family is well off and Champa's mother works in Oli's home. When the girls run into unfair rules about who gets to play, they push back. Later Champa sets off alone to Jalpaiguri looking for answers about mixed football teams. It is a warm, stirring story about friendship, fairness and standing up for yourself.
