An Amazing Read!

I am not a big reader, but when I heard about the book Radiate by Marley Gibson, I was interested to find a book about cheerleading that really showed what cheerleaders are all about.  I could not find the book on many book store shelves. When I did, I didn’t want to buy it in fear that I would be spending money on a worthless story. Later on, my friend asked me if I have ever heard of the book Radiate. I said yeah, obviously. She told me she bought it online.  She finished it in less than a week. I figured this had to be a good read. I asked her if I could borrow it and she brought it to me last night. I can’t put this book down. Every chapter has drawn me further into the story. It begins with a senior named Hayley who has been in band since her freshman year. Senior year she wants to stand out and be different, so she tried out for cheerleading. Hayley worked all year to become a better gymnast and now is the time to try out. I won’t spoil the rest of the storyline that I know about the book, so read it for yourself. I am only on chapter 4, but I am already determined it is an amazing book. If you read the description, it will tell you she discovers cancer in her leg. The story is so much more than that. It is a motivational book for any cheerleader. Something I really enjoy is that at the beginning of every chapter there is a motivational quote. At so many points in this book you will say to yourself, “Yeah I told you so!” to all of those pesky people who don’t believe a word you say about cheerleading. For any cheerleader, this would be the perfect book to read. Highly recommended by me!
