Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Thirteen-year-old Aniyah comes from a long line of drill and step team members. Her mom and aunts all competed, so none of them understand why Aniyah doesn't want to continue the tradition. But Aniyah doesn't like attention or performing. Then Aniyah's friend, Stacy, convinces her to give the team a try. The team dances just for fun and doesn't compete, so there's no pressure. Aniyah discovers Stacy is right--it is kind of fun! But just when Aniyah is starting to get into the groove, the rules change. The team decides to enter a competition. Can Aniyah overcome her fears and get on board with competition, or will she have to step away from drill team?
Includes discussion questions.
