The Tryout by Christina Soontornvat

5.0

---

Thank you Scholastic for sharing this wonderful cheerleading graphic novel! I did not know that I was missing cheerleading books in my life until I read this one. Now, I need all of the middle school cheerleading books. What a time to try and be a cheerleader-feeling awkward and uncertain and wanting to be center of attention? Not easy. I loved how Christina Soontornvat included all of those emotions and anxiety that goes with trying something new. I also really liked the illustrations-they were perfect and showed emotions so well. I know my students will love this book!
