About this title

Reviews

“Smile!” The focus is on positive attitude in this title in the Ready, Set, Cheer! series, which features lots of full-page color photos of middle-school cheerleaders. Along with all the smiles, there is also straightforward, direct advice about preparing for tryouts (“practice, practice, practice”). The tone is reassuring and also down-to-earth: attend every practice; be energetic; wear comfortable clothes; pull hair up and away from the face; and always, even if you mess up, keep smiling. A final chapter on tips for cheerleading camp includes a checklist of what to bring (lip gloss and a favorite stuffed animal are fine) and what not to bring (no laptops or cell phones). Even the many wannabes who don’t have a hope of making the team will enjoy browsing these pages, filled with photos of young people performing amazing handsprings, group pyramids, and more. The glossary, with words like excel, elite, and stamina, says it all. Grades 5-8. --Hazel Rochman
