Gr 8 Up-This flipbook shows that there are two sides in a relationship. Hallie is a good student and has worked hard to make it on the varsity cheerleading squad. Only she can't tumble. After feeling humiliated at the first home game, she meets Amir. He encourages her to start training with him at the gym where he works. Amir is a strong, quiet honor-roll student. He doesn't play sports, but loves his job teaching gymnastics. His father pushes him hard to become a doctor and keeps him out of organized sports. Amir and Hallie fall for each other right away, but they have other problems at home and school that cause rifts in their relationship. These inspirational stories intend to help teens keep trying and not give up if life becomes too difficult. Written for hi/lo readers, they are full of motivational phrases and advice to get through hard times, covering topics like drug abuse, rape, stalking, and extramarital affairs. This is a good acquisition where Kimani Tru books, "Bluford High" (Scholastic), and "Drama High" (Kensington) books are popular. Erik Carlson, White Plains Public Library, NY

The boys stories are Baller Swag - All That, No Hating, Do You, Be Real and Got Pride. Together they tell the story of high school couples through the eyes of the cheerleading squad and the varsity football team. The first letter in each book, C-H-E-E-R, and B-A-L-L-ER, represent the names of the featured high school couple. Keep Jumping (Cheer Drama): Eager Hallie Ray has finally made the cheerleading squad. If being a cheerleader is measured in heart, then Hallie has it all. But she's jealous of her BFFs. Then a friend lays down the hard truth: Hallie must learn to love without conditions, if she weren't so busy in everybody else's Kool-Aid she would understand that her flavor's sweet enough. No Hating (Baller Swag): Amir Knight is new to the team; the boy can ball. But Amir's father rags on him about being unworthy because Amir has dreams that don't sit right with his academic dad. He'll never amount to anything if he balls, so his parents forbid him to play. Coach says Amir has talent, swag, and ability. So Amir forges his father's signature on the permission forms.
