About this book

When bookish Toby Klein joins her high school's elite cheerleading squad, nobody suspects she's actually a government operative juggling covert missions between pep rallies and pyramids. But while Toby's trying to uncover a dangerous threat brewing in Bayport, she's also navigating the surprisingly cutthroat politics of varsity cheer—especially when the squad's intimidating captain Brooke seems determined to make her life miserable. With homecoming court nominations heating up and a mission that's starting to feel genuinely lethal, Toby has to figure out whether her biggest threat is the terrorists or the girl with the perfect ponytail. It's the perfect blend of spy thrills and high school chaos that'll have you grinning at every perfectly timed one-liner.
