    About this ebook

    Hannah is thrilled when she earns a spot on her school's dance team, but she knows she'll have to work extra hard if she wants a solo. The only problem is her best friend, Caitlin, would rather hang out with boys than practice. Hannah has to decide what's more important: keeping her spot on the team or keeping her friend.

    Jake Maddox

    Who is Jake Maddox? Athlete, author, world-traveler – or all three? He has surfed in Hawaii, scuba-dived in Australia, and climbed the mountains of Peru and Alaska. His books range from the most popular team sports to outdoor activities to survival adventures and even to auto racing. His exploits have inspired numerous writers to walk in his footsteps – literally! Each of his stories is stamped with teamwork, fair play, and a strong sense of self-worth and discipline. Always a team-player, Maddox realizes it takes more than one man (or woman) to create a book good enough for a young reader. He hopes the lessons learned on the court, field, or arena and the champion sprinter pace of his books can motivate kids to become better athletes and lifelong readers.

      Dance Team Dilemma - Jake Maddox

      AGAIN

      Chapter 1

      A NEW ROUTINE

      As Hannah walked out of her English class at Milton Junior High, a poster across the crowded hallway caught her eye. She grabbed her best friend, Caitlin, and dragged her over for a closer look.

      Cool! Dance squad tryouts! Hannah said. We have to do this! Last year they won the regional championships with that ‘I’ve Got A Feeling’ routine, remember?

      That was awesome! Caitlin agreed.

      The girls studied the poster. It was covered with photos of the dance squad performing at competitions and events.

      That looks awesome, Caitlin said. Count me in!

      Auditions are in two weeks, Hannah read from the poster. Want to come over tonight and practice at my house?

      Sure! Do you think they’ll let us audition together? Hannah asked.

      I don’t know, Caitlin said. But we can at least practice together. Maybe we can look at some videos online for ideas tonight and pick a routine to copy.

      That’s a great idea, Hannah said. I can’t wait! This is going to be so much fun!

      After school, Hannah and Caitlin rode their bikes to Hannah’s house. Hannah rushed inside and told her mom about the upcoming dance team tryouts.

      That sounds like a great idea, girls, Hannah’s mom said. Let me know if you need any help. I did a little bit of dancing in college, you know.

      Thanks, Mom, Hannah said. We’ll let you know. We’re going to go find a song for our routine. She grabbed Caitlin’s arm, and they rushed to Hannah’s room to get started.

      Hannah searched online and found hundreds of videos of dance teams performing. Some of them were really fast and complicated. Luckily, they found several routines that didn’t look too hard for beginners.

      Caitlin and
