The Tryout by Christina Soontornvat
4.0
Thank you, thank you @scholasticinc for this advance copy. It comes out 9.6.22!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 for this relatable graphic novel. It is autobiographical, as the author recounts how it felt growing up as one of the only non-white kids in her small Texas town, and her experience trying out for middle school cheerleading. For me, the whole tryout process seemed absolutely ridiculous; however, in the back matter the author tells the reader that it is how it really went down back then. Aside from that, I adored the story and really think that students will love this one. Hand to fans of Raina Telgemeier and Kayla Miller. And buy multiple for your library, friends.
