Fleur along with best friends Blossom and Pip, see a sign about girls boxing which spurs fleur on to want to have a go.
Blossom is set in her feminist ways so it's down to lanky uncoordinated Pip to accompany Fleur to her first session.
At the club as she persists with training and getting heavily invested in it all, the boys accept her, Ricky agrees to train her on Wednesdays as she's serious about boxing properly and Tariq runs with her whilst she cycles a with her dad too.
Even when Bonita her rival/worst enemy from school comes along to get involved it doesn't deter her spirit even though her boyfriend George and her mum don't approve of her boxing.
This was another great book about difference and pursuing what you prefer over feeling pressured to stick to the norm. It's an inspirational book and maybe a young girl who picks it up will one day make a boxer too!
