About this ebook
From New York Times bestselling author Gale Galligan, a fun, high-energy graphic novel about friendship, family, and the last hurrahs of middle school.Cory's dance crew is getting ready for a major competition. It's the last one before they graduate eighth grade and go their separate ways to high schools all over New York City, so they have to make it count! The group starts to have problems as their crew captain gets increasingly intense about nailing the routine, and things go from bad to worse when Cory's parents ground him for not taking his grades seriously. He gets stuck with a new tutor, Sunna, who he dismisses as a boring nerd... until he catches her secretly practicing cool yo-yo tricks. Cory wants to learn the art of yo-yo, and as his friendship with Sunna grows, he ends up missing practice and bailing on his crew -- and they are not happy about it. With mounting pressure coming from all sides, how is Cory supposed to balance the expectations of his parents, school, dance, and his new friend?

One, I love this book and two, of you really want to see something funny look at their faces on page 187. (P.S. I have nearly taken this book from my local library several times... Sorry) I would 100% recommend this book for all ages. For the one star reviewer, read the book again. Cory makes up with his parents pretty well. 🙃

He dumps on his parents how downhill his life has gotten and their response is he owes the parents a apology? I hope they wake up in the middle of the night and find the kid ran away and never comes back.
