Well Jamee does her sister's name is Darcy and she is really smart and all of Jamee's teachers tell Jamee why cant you be as smart as your sister.This book is Realistic Fiction because this can happen to anybody.I thought this book was very good and awesome because I love books with a lot of action in them and this book was about how Jamee was getting bad grades and her sister Darcy always had good grades and people tell her why cant you be as smart as your sister and she has to bring her grades up if she wants to make the cheer squad.

This story took place at Bluford High,her house,and her aunts house.Jamee wanted to be a cheerleader at Bluford high.But in order to be a cheerleader she had to do good in school and she was doing bad. Then she started going to cheerleader tryouts to see if she was good enough for the team. Conflict Person vs self because she has to make her own decisions if she wants to make the team she has to bring her grades up. The main Character is Jamee,Darcy (jamee's sister).

I was surprised when the teachers were telling her why cant you be as smart as your sister Darcy, I thought that was pretty mean. What i really understood why Jamee was standing up for once to her friend Angel(a girl that really didn't have no friends and was very shy) and tell them to leave and stop messing with her. The main Characters problem is getting bad grades in school because if she has bad grades she cant join any school programs.

I thought this book was pretty good and i rated it a 5 star because I like books that have drama and a lot of action. I rate this book also a 5 because the girls drama is like real life problems people would so I would recommend this to girls that have a lot of drama in their lives and see how Jamee handled her drama in school. If you ever read this book I hope you learn the same thing that I did stand up for your self and don't let people push you around and always do good in school because if you don't when you want to join a school program you aren't going to be able if you are not then no team for you. ...more "

Precious’s Quotes

“I'm going out,” I said.
I loved the way that sounded. It was just like what the heroes say in war movies right before they hurl themselves out of the plane. I felt like I should wink and say something like, “See you around, guys” and be really cool about it – but who was I kidding? I wasn't cool. I'd just sound like an idiot.”
― Vicki Grant, Pigboy
