Acclaimed novelist Quan Barry delivers a tour de female force in this delightful novel. Set in the coastal town of Danvers, Massachusetts, where the accusations began that led to the 1692 witch trials, We Ride Upon Sticks follows the 1989 Danvers High School Falcons field hockey team, who will do anything to make it to the state finals—even if it means tapping into some devilishly dark powers. In chapters dense with 1980s iconography—from Heathers to "big hair"—Barry expertly weaves together the individual and collective progress of this enchanted team.

Field hockey+witchcraft = surprisingly enthralling

Fine story, not my cup of tea

I went into this book with the wrong expectations. I was hoping for a dark and funny satire with either an imaginative fantasy or twisty is-it-or-isn’t-it plot. Instead this book cares a lot about field hockey, leans heavily on 80’s nostalgia and snark, and the plot is a light farce about teamwork and confidence. I wasn’t able to get deep enough into any character’s life to care about them, because as soon as things got close, the thread jumped to another character.
