Rites of Passage By Joy Hensley

Sam is only carrying on the family tradition of going to Denmark Military Academy - just like her father and her two brothers did. However, they were male, and she’s a female. And it turns out one of five who will be the first girls ever let into the prestigious DMA. So many, including her older brother at the school, don’t want her to succeed. With so many things against her, is it possible?

Recommended for grades 8 and up.
