Pyramid of One

This brand-new series from Simon Spotlight is ideal for any girl who is a cheerleader, wants to be a cheerleader, or loves to hate cheerleaders. Told in journal format with black-and-white sketch illustrations, CHEER! has something for everyone!

In Confessions of a Wannabe Cheerleader, Madison Hays has cherished a life dream of becoming a Titan cheerleader—just like her mom once was. But when her triple flip becomes a major flop during tryouts, Madison is relegated to the B-squad Grizzlies—the most challenged squad on the West Coast. Still, Madison is determined to bridge the gap and get on the squad where she belongs—which means whipping the Grizzlies into shape. Will Maddy ever land on top of the pyramid with a squad like this? Maybe not, but when her awesome designs for new Grizzly uniforms get revealed at a big game, even the Titans start paying attention.…

In Pyramid of One, Maddy finds herself in a tough spot when her crush, Bevan—aka the recent ex of Titan cheerleader Katie Parker—asks her out! Still hoping to one day make the Titan team, Maddy has to choose: table for one, or pyramid of one? But when a big cheerleading competition brings the Titans and the Grizzlies together for one pressure-filled weekend, the stakes rapidly rise as cheerleaders start performing stunts on and off the mat—breaking hearts, spirits, and possibly even body parts!

Zoe loves reading, eating oysters, and of course, cheering.
