"Behind Every Squad, There's A Story."
Assessment
I chose this book because I'm into cheerleading, which is all about leading and demonstrating to the fans in the stands on how to show school spirit. A favorite part that I liked about the book was when Devin leads the team at the Regional competitions where they had to do a human pyramid. My opinion of the book is that it is dramatic, romantic, and amazing, because of the human interaction. A reason why I liked the book was because the main girls in the book were trying to teach us a lesson on how important it is to have teamwork. Reasons why I disliked the book was when Chloe was acting like a drama queen and a spoiled brat towards Devin who was only trying to be nice and helpful. Overall, I would rate this book five stars because the girls had a lot of energy, enthusiasm, and courage. This helped them when they performed at their pep rallies and regional competitions. This shows teamwork through adversity. I would recommend for my Aunt Sally to read this book because she was a cheerleader in high school and I think she would relate to the examples of overcoming challenges and conflict which she is experiencing now.
