Bookroo's summary

Alicia faces a challenge: her brother Danny and his friends dismiss cheerleading as not a real sport. Determined to change their minds, Alicia sets out to showcase her team's unique talents, including her own impressive jumping skills. Can she convince them that cheerleading deserves respect and recognition at Victory School? The stakes are high as Alicia battles stereotypes and fights for her passion.

From the publisher

Alicia’s brother Danny and his friends are always putting down cheerleading. One of them even said the cheerleaders don’t belong at the Victory School. But Alicia knows that everyone on the team has something special, like her super jumping ability. She just has to prove to Danny and the others that cheerleading really is a sport.
