Varsity #2
Turn It Up
Behind every squad, there's a story. Welcome back to the world of high school cheerleading.
Fresh from the excitement of Regionals, the Northside High JV cheerleaders have set their sights on the prize -- Nationals. But even the most devoted Timberwolves can't eat, sleep, and breathe cheer. Kate's distracted by her new boy-slash-friend, and Devin's dealing with her own long-distance relationship. Emily is overscheduled as usual, and Chloe has taken an interest in community service, volunteering at a local organization that helps families facing tough times. When Chloe discovers that one of their own needs help, can the squad rally to support their teammate?
Book 2 in the Varsity series has more best-friend drama, boy trouble, and, of course, sideline spirit!

The books is good G rated teenage drama, the girls have good hearts. Except...
Devin's long distance boyfriend has been acting more like a friend to Devin.
Meanwhile Devin develops a crush on a boy from school.
All good then there was that one part showing that the author didn't do enough research, if you are going to drop a diagnosis of any kind do your research and get your information from more than one source.
During a Skype call Josh tells Devin why he hasn't been a good boyfriend lately, his three year old sister hasn't been talking and lacks social skills and his parents have been taking her to doctors and therapy because.... Josie got diagnosed with asperger syndrome.
His sweet little sister.
The way the dialogue is written it's like Josh told Devin Josie has cancer... just no.
Also Asperger's Syndrome disappeared from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) in 2013. - Josie is autistic she has autism this is one part of her, the book doesn't acknowledge her hobbies or personality or anything. Which isn't right.

Do you think that a cheerleading team could do more than just cheer? I read a book named Turn it up varsity by Melanie Spring.
The book Turn It up varsity is a drama book.The main characters are Chloe, Kate, Emily and Devin. The setting primarily takes a
place at Northside High School. The school's gym is where the squad practices and games.There was many conflicts in this story.
I would highly recommend this book Turn it up Varsity , especially if you enjoy cheerleading as much as I do. I saw myself in the entire
book because I am cheerleading and I have friendships like that.I would recommend this book to everybody. But I think girls who do
cheerleading would like it more. They would understand it more than girls who do not do cheerleading.
The positive aspect is the book teaches you to do team work. How to deal with friendship problems and boyfriend problems. How hard you work
for something and you can not win but you still get a good place it is still worth working hard. They have to many negative fights with friendship.
They have way to many breakups and makeups in the story. How boys can lie to get a girlfriend.

9th grade cheerleaders struggle with life, love, and competition. This second book in a series picks up as the team is preparing for Nationals and follows four friends on the squad in third person. Chloe serves community service hours for her résumé and discovers an exciting new friend plus a way to help a teammate in need. Kate is insecure about her status with an upperclassmen boy, especially when his female best buddy shows up. Emily’s carefully balanced schedule of activities threatens to tip over when she’s offered a chance at rock stardom. And Devin is unsure about her feelings for her long-distance boyfriend, especially compared to her new project partner. Plus, the girls have to be ready to shine at National competition and, as always, find ways to stay great friends. Full of cheerleading terms, clean teen angst, and positive character decisions, this will charm middle school girls dreaming of high school life with pom-pons. Recommended for grades 5 to 8.

Can't wait for this to come out and there also seems to be another book coming out this year as well!

It certainly has its audience, but it has to many exclamation points and easy emotion resolutions for my taste.
