Sydney’s looking forward to spending the summer reading and hanging out with her BFF, Maggie – basically anything to avoid being the center of attention. But Sydney’s mom decides that she should make an effort to build her confidence and signs her up for a dance class at the JCC. Sydney and Maggie are horrified but soon come up with what seems to be an ingenious way to save their summer. In this contemporary story, Sydney’s realistic fears are treated with sympathy and plenty of humor.

Awesome Book For Anyone!
I really liked this book because it’s a book about a girl named Sydney (obviously) who ends up switching summer camps with her best friend, Maggie. Maggie and Sydney are both really fun, great characters. Sydney is a tall girl with a mom who’s expecting a baby who doesn’t like public speaking at all and there’s Maggie, who’s average height with an older brother and loves to dance. There are lots of twists and turns, there were parts where I cringed, like one time you think that something happened, when really something else did (I’m trying not to give spoilers), but all in all I think anyone from age 8 to age 12, would find this book a great read.
