The Tryout by Christina Soontornvat
4.0

young reader gn

a story of an asian american girl who anticipates trying out for her middle school cheerleading team. but it’s also so much more than that; it’s a dialogue about culture, identity, friendship, and what it means to be a kid in america. the author was already on my tbr list when i read this, and i can see why she’s a two-time newbery honoree. her story is incredible, even if it’s so vividly awkward!
