About This Book
This humorous chapter book follows Annisa, a 'non-blonde cheerleader,' as her all-girls squad suddenly becomes coed. The story explores the initial friction and eventual teamwork required as boys join the team, leading to a 'battle of the sexes' that Annisa and her friends must overcome. It also touches on themes of first love and navigating social dynamics in a school setting. Ideal for readers aged 8-12, it offers a lighthearted look at gender roles, cooperation, and self-discovery.
When the Sand Dune High cheerleading squad goes coed, Annisa and the rest of the team must learn to get along without turning the season into a battle of the sexes.
