I was super excited to focus on fashion, not to mention have a real vacation. BUT thatand#8217;s not possible, since, you know, DRAMA follows me everywhere. Aside from scoping out a MAJOR Katie Parker lookalike here in the Big Apple, it seems the Grizzlies might not be able to compete in the novice Get Up and Cheer! competition Jacqui and I signed us up for because Katarina is failing Social Studies. AND this little vacay with Dad and Beth? NOT a vacay. They are moving here, and asked if Iand#8217;d like to come with? SERIOUSLY!? Oh, and to top it all off, why oh why am I spending so much time thinking about Evan when Iand#8217;m supposed to be in major LIKE with Bevan? So much for holiday spirit.andlt;/iandgt; andlt;BRandgt;andlt;BRandgt;Maddy can't wait to explore the fashion and glamour of the city, and a week away from everything back home is just what she needs. What could possibly go wrong on vacay, anyway?? That is, except everything. After this vacation, Maddy's going to need a VACATION! This third installment of andlt;Iandgt;CHEER! Confessions of a Wannabe Cheerleaderandlt;/Iandgt; is a hilarious yet poignant story about growing up, making choices, and spreading lots and lots of holiday spirit!

Synopsis
In
Holiday Spirit, Winter Break is on the horizon, and instead of spending every waking moment practicing with the Grizzlies for their upcoming novice competition, Maddy is off to the Big Apple for a spur-of-the-moment vacation with her dad and his girlfriend, Beth. But Maddy’s week of fashion and glamour turns out to be filled with stress and secrets—including the possibility that Katie Parker might abdicate her throne as Queen of the Titans. Not to mention, Manhattan’s artsy scene has Maddy second-guessing everything from her lifestyle to her love life. After this vacation, Maddy’s going to need a vacation!
In Bevan vs. Evan, it’s springtime in Port Angeles, and that can only mean one thing: Titan Cheerleading Tryouts, take two! Will Maddy take the plunge again? Or is she just another spring chicken, like the rest of the Titan’s rejects from the fall? And if she does try out, will the Grizzlies understand—or hate her for leaving them behind after all they’ve been through? On top of tryout tension, the annual Sunshine Dance is around the corner, and while Maddy’s psyched to design a new dress, she’s not sure whose arm she wants to be on….
