Jumping Into Cheer (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781764073424)

What if the one thing you never considered was exactly where you belonged?

When nine-year-old Carter stumbles across a cheerleading team flipping and soaring at the local carnival, he's instantly captivated. He's never seen anything like it-and he's definitely never imagined himself doing it. After all, boys don't do cheerleading... do they?

With a mix of nerves, curiosity, and a little nudge from Mum, Carter takes a leap-literally-into a trial class at the local all-star cheer gym. What follows is a journey packed with tumbles, triumphs, and new teammates who quickly become like family.

From wobbly cartwheels and stunting fails to confidence-boosting wins and real friendships, Carter discovers that cheerleading isn't just about sparkles and pom-poms. It's about strength, resilience, teamwork, and finding what lights you up inside.

Jumping Into Cheer is a heartwarming, high-energy story for readers aged 4-8 that celebrates trying something new, challenging gender stereotypes, and being brave enough to be yourself.
