Bump: How To Make, Grow and Birth A Baby

Product Information

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! More than three decades ago, Lee Atwater, the manager of George HW Bush’s 1988 presidential campaign, believed the boomer experience provided a more cohesive political glue than income, political tradition or religion.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. I loved Bump. It has a sweetness that can’t be denied. I admit I’m a later-in-life fan of professional wrestling. I didn’t pay much attention to it until I met my current boyfriend, who as been a lifelong fan. But I have come to respect the hard work and athleticism it takes to be a good wrestler and to admire the stories these athletes tell through their actions. MJ is a fantastic character, and her journey is one that I’m glad to have witnessed. She has a lot of heart and a lot of spunk, and I think she sets a wonderful example to readers of all ages who read about her experiences in and out of the ring. I only wish I could have read this when I was a kid. Her courage would have inspired me to be stronger against the bullies and mean girls I knew through the years. It's not really that this book was bad exactly, it's just that there's some amazing middle grade fiction out there, and the bar is set very high. This one couldn't clear it.

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. We use Carbon Balanced Paper in conjunction with World Land Trust to reduce the carbon impacts of our printed products, reducing our carbon footprint and impact on climate change. Bump is about a girl named MJ (Maya Jocelyn). Her Dad used to call her MJ after a character in spider man. That was before her dad died. MJ’s favorite thing to do is watch wrestling. One day MJ was flying her drone from her window when it scraped against the wall that divides her yard to her neighbors yard. She climbs the wall to get her drone.She has never met any of her neighbors because when she had to move from her old house to the one she was renting she never payed much attention to the houses on the other side of her house. While she is in the person’s yard she sees a tarp over something big. She pulls it off and there in front of her is a real wrestling arena. MJ wants to join her neighbor’s wrestling school more than anything, and after wearing her mother down, the two strike a deal. MJ has to keep her grades up, and if she gets seriously hurt then she’ll have to stop, but her mother agrees to let her wrestle. Since she’s only 12, it takes her some convincing to get her neighbor to let her in the school, but she wears him down too and gets ready to start training as a wrestler.MJ is a luchadora-in-training at Victory Academy, a local wrestling school run by her neighbor who is a former pro-wrestler. (Wrestling like WWF, not the Olympics...an important distinction!). MJ learns how to "dance" (working with her opponent to run through several moves that look like sparring but are actually completely coordinated), how to "bump" (crash to the mats of the wrestling ring without getting hurt) and how to become a new member of this unique familia. MJ is craving a place to belong to, especially as she and her mother are still grieving the loss of MJ's father who was the one who introduced MJ to wrestling. Priorities of ethnic blocs can change. By 2020, support for affirmative action among Californian Latinos appeared lukewarm at best. At the same time Californians were sending Biden to the White House they resoundingly rejected Proposition 16, an attempt to undo Proposition 196. 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. An utterly charming tale of becoming. You needn't know anything of wrestling, or even like wrestling, to enjoy this tale of finding your way in the world. MJ is instantly relateable and her journey is filled with moments of sadness as well as joy as she discovers her inner strength.

I loved this book. I know very, very little about pro wrestling but I didn't feel lost when the author was describing wrestling training and shows. That said, a fan would probably appreciate it more.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.

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. This group has dominated American culture in one form or another since it came into being,” he observed. Boomer politicians include Bill Clinton, George W Bush, Donald Trump and Newt Gingrich. They may not have made the world a better place but they definitely left their mark. Their appetites frequently eclipsed their judgment. Clinton and Trump were impeached. Both faced lawsuits alleging sexual assault. Gingrich was forced out as House speaker.
