Gia’s got to face the good, the bad, and the new…

Gia Stokes is psyched for the start of her junior year at Longfellow High. She’s co-captain of the Hi-Steppers dance squad, she’s back on good terms with her cousin Hope, and her best friend Ricky has achieved hottie status as the school’s new first-string quarterback. Now all the girls are after him, including Valerie--Gia’s co-captain--and Hope. They both want Gia’s help to score a date with Ricky, but how is Gia supposed to choose between them? If that wasn’t enough, she also has to deal with a new dad and an annoying fourteen-year-old stepsister. It’s going to take every ounce of faith Gia has to flip this script and make her junior year one to remember.

“Gia Stokes might be a Hi-Stepper, but this teen role model has both feet on the ground as she meets life’s challenges with style and grace.” --Melody Carlson, author of the Diary of a Teenage Girl series
