A toxic coach finds himself outplayed by the high school girls on his team in this deeply suspenseful novel, which unspools over twenty-four hours through six diverse perspectives.

Tomorrow, the Wildcat varsity field hockey squad will play the first game of their new season. But at tonight’s team sleepover, the girls are all about forging the bonds of trust, loyalty, and friendship necessary to win.

Everything hinges on the midnight initiation ceremony—a beloved tradition and the only facet of being a Wildcat that the girls control. Until now.

Coach—a handsome former college player revered and feared in equal measure—changes the plan and spins his team on a new adventure. One where they take a rival team’s mascot for a joyride, crash a party in their pajamas, break into the high school for the perfect picture.

But as the girls slip out of their comfort zone, so do some long-held secrets. And just how far they’re willing to go for their team takes them all—especially Coach—by surprise.

A testament to the strength and resilience of modern teenage girls, We Are the Wildcats will have readers cheering

Here is a peek at the very rough sketch I did for this wallpaper project. You can see the ghost-like figure of a tiger in the center (because I can't really draw) and the quote. The elements shifted slightly from sketch to final because I didn't take into account of the actual wallpaper's orientation (which I should have definitely done!). I was inspired by the We Are the Wildcats marketing campaign imagery which is where the idea of the tiger and scratchy texture originated. From the beginning, I knew I wanted to bring out a boldness into the colors and overall energy, so I chose a bright palette and enlarged the tiger. Added some texture and ta-da!
