Bump: How To Make, Grow and Birth A Baby

Product Information

At first, she’s paired with an older girl to learn the basics of wrestling—how to interact with another wrestler in the ring and how to fall down without getting hurt. As the weeks of training go on, she learns more about what it takes to have a match. She builds her endurance and expands her in-ring skills. She even gets to try out some simple matches before a small audience in their weekly wrestling shows. As Bump observes, women older than 60 frequently emerged as both faces of the resistance to Trump and a moderating force. More than three in five Americans are angry or dissatisfied with the supreme court decision on abortion, yet the GOP faithful demands self-immolation.

The Bump Book of Baby Lists: Checklists and Tips for the Most

A moving and triumphant middle grade contemporary debut from award-winning author Matt Wallace about a heroic young girl—who dreams of becoming a pro wrestler—learning to find courage and fight for what she loves. But when an investigator with the State Athletic Commission comes to do his inspection, MJ gets a bad feeling, like the inspector has a problem with her neighbor and is trying extra hard to shut down the wrestling school. This is the first thing in months that has made MJ happy, and she doesn’t want to lose that. But will she be able to help save the school that means so much to her? MJ is having a bad year. It’s her first year at middle school, which is difficult enough, but her dad not being around anymore is the worst. And she didn’t want to be on the gymnastics team this year, not since she was bullied and felt excluded, despite being one of the best gymnasts on the team. And since her dad left, MJ and her mother had to move out of their house, and now her mother has to work two jobs and take online classes. So I've been doing this thing where I read middle grade fiction when I need a break from some of my darker, stressful reads. Take that into account here I guess, I am not the target audience for this book and I get that. However I've loved professional wrestling since I could remember, I still love professional wrestling, and a book about a young luchadora sounded amazing! MJ is a great, strong yet vulnerable main character and you can't help but root for her on this new journey. As a reader with no particular affinity for pro wrestling, I found the story completely intriguing and actually gained a new appreciation for the sport.

Available in A5 or DL sizes and printed on two-part carbonless paper to provide a second copy; our school accident books / first aid books are designed to make the recording of accidents, injuries and illness in school as easy and ‘painless’ as possible. MJ doesn’t have any friends, so she spends her lunch time watching wrestling videos of luchadores, Mexican wrestlers who wear masks and wrestle with an entertaining, energetic style. Without friends or afterschool activities, she just sits alone in her room after school flying her drone. It had been a gift from her father before he’d left. But when it crashes into a neighbor’s yard, MJ decides to go after it and discovers an old wrestling ring in her neighbor’s yard. It turns out her neighbor used to be a lucha wrestler, and now he owns a training school for wrestlers. MJ knows what it means to hurt. Bruises from gymnastics heal, but big hurts—like her dad not being around anymore—don’t go away. Now her mom needs to work two jobs, and MJ doesn’t have friends at school to lean on.

MJ was a very likable narrator and I think kids will connect with her feelings of loneliness and anger (what kid hasn't felt that at some point?) as well as her determination to learn and grow.

I love how strong MJ is. She understands the pain and her feelings, but she doesn't deny them. She tries different ways to solve her problems and doesn't rely on others to tell her what she should do or how she should feel. The adults in her life are respectful and keep her safe. Wallace takes the world of pro-wrestling and helps readers who may have preconceived notions and stereotyped beliefs understand the sport's positivity and art. MJ finds a home in the gym. The other wrestlers take her "under their wings" and give her advice in and out of the ring. When one man's anger threatens to shut down the gym forever, MJ fights to save the gym she loves. I'm not a real wrestling fan, but I was totally into it. It describes the amazing athleticism for what I always heard was a "fake sport." But it's done in a way that's friendly and understanding of my prior ignorance, not trying to push me into an argument. I loved Matt Wallace's Sin du Jour series, and I love wrestling, so this book was made for me (even if I'm an adult).
