The Tryout (The Tryout #1) by Christina Soontornvat

The Tryout is a graphic novel for ages 9-11. It's short and sweet.  The illustrations are well done and fun.

It follows our main character Christina and her best friend Megan and their quest to join the cheerleading squad. They are in middle school and want to fit in. They think being part of the squad will result in them being accepted by their peers. It follows them as they learn routines and compete.

This book is also about friendship and acceptance. It's a fun read that is age appropriate and made me laugh.
