It was so cuteee and I love dancing so it was perfect for me. It showcases the ups and downs of friendship and middle school drama. I never know how to really elaborate when it comes to graphic novels but yeah I would totally recommend if your looking for a quick graphic novel.

This graphic novel highlights a sport most kids probably don't know exists, competitive yo-yoing. The book highlights both the joys and tribulations of working as a team when Cory's dance group works toward their final competition together. But, in the meantime, Cory is finding himself drawn to something new when he sees his new tutor (a stereotype-breaking Muslim American girl) performing some seriously sick yo-yo tricks. Cory is stretched thin between his new love of yo-yo, his need to improve his grades, and his dance team's increasingly frustrating practices. In the end, he has to find a way to balance it all and forge new friendships without leaving his old friends behind.
