With a TV star sister and a soccer prodigy brother, Allie feels the pressure to prove herself. But her biggest rival is her ex-best friend, Sara. As the competition heats up, Allie must decide if victory is worth the price of friendship. Will she achieve her dream of winning, or will she lose more than she bargained for? Dive into Allie's journey of ambition, rivalry, and the true meaning of success.

From the publisher

Is winning top prize worth losing a friend?Allie Velasco wants to be a trailblazer.A trendsetter.A winner.No better feeling exists in the world than stepping to the top of a winner’s podium and hoisting a trophy high in the air. At least, that’s what Allie thinks . . . she’s never actually won anything before. Everyone in her family is special in some way – her younger sister is a rising TV star; her brother is a soccer prodigy; her great-grandfather is a Congressional Medal of Honor winner.With a family like this, Allie knows she has to make her mark or risk being left behind. She’s determined to add a shiny medal, blue ribbon, or beautiful trophy to her family’s award shelf. When a prestigious school contest is announced, Allie has the perfect opportunity to take first – at last. There’s just one small snag . . . her biggest competition is also her ex-best friend, Sara. Can Allie take top prize and win back a friend – or is she destined to lose it all?
