Check & Mate is a cute story about a teenage girl wanting to return to the game she loves, but worried how it will affect her family. When she agrees to a charity match and the results are surprising, how will Mallory handle what comes next?

Overall, it is a predictable story but one that YA readers might enjoy. The cover art reminds me more of a graphic novel illustration, so it is not really my favorite. I would maybe get this book from the library, just to see if my predictions are correct.
