About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the sting of sibling rivalry or the high-pressure world of competitive extracurriculars. It is an ideal choice for the middle-schooler who feels overshadowed by a sibling's success or is navigating the complex 'frenemy' dynamics that often emerge in team sports and cheerleading squads. The story follows the Wakefield twins as they find themselves on opposing sides of a heated cheerleading competition, forcing them to choose between personal glory and sisterly loyalty. While the plot is fast-paced and entertaining, it serves as a meaningful catalyst for discussing envy and the importance of supporting others even when we want to win ourselves. Written for the 8 to 12 age range, it captures the authentic social anxieties of school life without being overly heavy. Parents will appreciate how it validates the difficult feelings of jealousy while ultimately steering the characters toward reconciliation and shared goals.
