Item Detail

ea. vol: (Cheerleaders Series). Scholastic. $2.25. LC number unavailable. Waiting is a bizarre mixture of rah-rah cheerleading, the big game, jealous sniping, and death. Two members of the cheerleading squad and the star basketball player take off to climb a mountain on the day of the year's biggest game. The basketball player is killed in a fall, and the other two barely survive a night on the mountain. This all culminates in a ``Win one for the Gipper'' game. ``They're talented, they're fabulous looking, they're winners! And they've got what you want!'' They're also very hard to take. In Love has laughable dialogue, characters without personalities, a snappy plot which keeps piling on the complications and the action, and utter predictability. This one concerns a statewide cheerleading contest, budding romances too numerous to list, and a female villain out to steal their fabulous cheers and sell them to the enemy.
