“Fascinating nonfiction.”

“I like books explaining subcultures I know nothing about, and this book about competitive college cheerleading definitely fit into that category (my college didn't even have cheerleaders, and my knowledge of the sport was pretty much limited to the stereotypes). The writer followed three very different teams through their seasons, from tryouts to end-of-the-year competitions, along the way explaining the culture of the sport and what drives the men and women who participate despite the risk of serious injury.”

“I'd give this book 10 stars if I could! This is just an outstanding book! It tells the story of three cheerleading teams and what they have to go through. It made me really feel like I knew these people. It's a real page turner. I found myself cheering for them!! Superb job, Kate!!! --Gerard Zemek, husband of author of "My Funny Dad, Harry" ”

“I really enjoyed the first half of this book. The brief history of cheerleading was really interesting and shocking at times. About halfway through the book the author stops being a distanced observer and begins considering herself one of the team and the book dies.”
