Cheerleading uniforms, accessories, and other expenses all add up, and like most schools, Greenview Junior High can't cover all the costs for their cheerleaders. As fund-raising chair, Lissa knows how important it is for her to make sure the cheer team has enough money to enter competitions. But it becomes even more important when she worries her family won't be able to afford her spot on the team.
The story shows the long-lasting value of friendships, and is noted in the end by Lissa as "Priceless!" . . . .A "Quiz" about cheerleading helps the reader determine which cheerleader in the story they are most like. "A note from Lissa..." gives guidelines for fund-raisers. The "Meet the Author" section provides an interview with Jen Jones about her experiences and interest in cheerleading.-- "Children's Literature Comprehensive Database Newsletter"
