Part of the Team Awkward series
Leah's secret Quiz Bowl obsession risks her friendships and family trust.
Leah feels like the only responsible one in her quirky family. When her parents enroll her in art club to spark creativity, she secretly swaps it for Quiz Bowl, driven by her competitive nature. As she juggles lies and loyalty, Leah's ambition threatens to unravel her friendships and family bonds. Can she balance her passion with honesty, or will her secretive plans backfire?
Leah’s ambitious extracurricular plans cause trouble in this second book in the Team Awkward middle grade series that’s The Baby-Sitters Club meets Dork Diaries. How organized, driven Leah was born into her family, she’ll never know. They’re as different as can be. For example, while she’s trying to finish unpacking boxes from their move and get to bed at a decent time, her parents are listening to indie rock records and eating ice cream sundaes. Sometimes it feels like she’s the only responsible one in the house! So when her parents sign her up for art club–to “loosen her up” and “get her creative juices flowing”–Leah decides to ditch in favor of Quiz Bowl, which meets at the same time. But as she secretly attends Quiz Bowl and lies to her parents, her competitive spirit begins to take over, threatening her scheme and her friendships.
