One Cycle
by Lorna Schultz Nicholson
This is book three in Nicholson's Podium Sports Academy series, which details the lives of teen athletes at an elite high school. It's a lot like Degrassi High, but with a sports backdrop. In One Cycle, we're introduced to Nathan, captain of the Podium lacrosse team. With a quick and slender build, Nathan's always being told that he needs to bulk up. Obsessed with getting a scholarship, his impatience leads to a risky decision - injectable testosterone. Now all he has to worry about are the side effects and the paranoia.
A fast, gripping read that will appeal to young readers, especially reluctant ones.
