OLDER FICTION
Winston, Sherri

The Kayla Chronicles

(4) YA Fourteen-year-old Kayla agonizes over her decision about whether to accept a hard-won position on the Lady Lions dance team or to remain loyal to her aggressively judgmental friend, Rosalie. Kayla's movement toward self-confidence is punctuated by quotations from famous women and coinages of her own (e.g., bubblebot, dare-glare). Though the writing lacks subtlety, readers will sympathize with Kayla's conflict.
