Brunettes Strike Back is the sequel to a book called I Was Once a Non-Blonde Cheerleader by Kieran Scott. I read this book on spring break after I bought it at McClure's Bookshop in Clemson, South Carolina. I went to a bookstore in almost every city I went to on Spring Break...
Highlands, North Carolina - Cyrano's Bookshop (The have a big husky.)
Franklin, North Carolina - Books Unlimited (They have kitties.)
Asheville, North Carolina - Malaprops Bookstore (No animals.)
Clemson, South Carolina - McClure's Bookshop (Ditto.)
Clayton, Georgia - Prater's Main Street Books (Kitty!)
Anyways, I didn't get to buy a book or two from each store because I went on break with a total of $30 dollars, so that would have been around two books, three max. However, McClure's was a used bookstore so I got a $16.99 hardcover for $4.00 instead, which was nice. I read that book in about a night.
Annisia Gobrowski used to live in New Jersey, however her family moved to Florida. In Florida everything is hotter, but her father still wears his long khakis. Everyone on the Sand Dune High School cheerleading squad is blonde, even if they're Asian... Since it's a sequel,(I read the first one in 7th grade maybe) Annisia has already made it on the squad, and the squad's already won regionals. Next is nationals and her supersitions captain, Tara (she's been wearing the same socks since regionals) has decided that they all must look completely uniform before nationals therefore Annisia must die her hair. Like most young adult novels of this nature the main character struggles a bit, but in the end she gets her way. Her hair remains undyed, they win nationals, the boy she was having troubles with that I didn't even bother mentioning because it was so cliche ends up staying with her and they all live happily ever after until the next book. (Which I have yet to purchase.)
Is it shameful to like books like this? There easy and fun to read... I guess it's kinda like watching Disney Channel every once in a while. Haha. Kieran Scott also goes by the pseudonym Kate Brian and writes the mystery, thriller series Private which I also really enjoy.
