Swing
Meeker, Audrey2024
Book
Marcus McCalister wants to fit in. So much so that he's still playing on a soccer team with his childhood friend, Ted, despite not liking soccer - or Ted - all that much. Izzy Briggs wants to stand out. Being labeled the 'weird kid' for her bold fashion choices is the price an aspiring designer must pay for the life of greatness - but being confident isn't always easy. So when Izzy and Marcus are paired together to perform a swing dance routine for a gym project, it's no surprise that everything goes up in flames, including their grade in the class. Until their gym teacher proposes a deal: if the pair perform their dance routine in the upcoming talent show, they'll receive extra credit and a passing grade. They accept ... but Izzy has her own proposal for Marcus - this time, she gets to be the lead.
