This hilarious, highly relatable story will make you laugh, cry, and cheer! Perfect for fans of Raina Telgemeier. An Instant #1 Bestseller! “A captivating middle-grade gem.” ― The New York Times Book Review “Funny, relatable, and genuine.” ― Kirkus Reviews , starred review “Captures every nuanced emotion.” ― School Library Journal , starred review “Genuinely nail-biting.” ― Publishers Weekly , starred review “Cringe-worthy in the best possible way…inspiring and insightful.” ― Shelf Awareness , starred review STAND TALL.BE LOUD.GAME FACE ON. When cheerleading tryouts are announced, Christina and her best friend, Megan, literally jump at the chance to join the squad. As two of the only kids of color in the school, they have always yearned to fit in―and the middle school cheerleaders are popular and accepted by everyone. But will the girls survive the terrifying tryouts, with their whole grade watching? And will their friendship withstand the pressures of competition? Review: Gift - Gift for 8 year granddaughter. She loves to read and is in cheerleader. Perfect gift for her Review: Fun, positive, smart memoir - Fun, smart, nuanced take on social acceptance or lack thereof which has a positive attitude without sugar-coating. Worth reading for all ages. In particular it's nice to see a book that doesn't lean into the stereotype of cheerleaders as evil, nasty people that has become such a cliche nowadays. Meanwhile, note that the 1-star reviewers (as of the time I write this) are lying. Not only is there no anti-Christian hate in this book or anything that could honestly be construed as such, but the author speaks appreciatively of her experiences attending Christian church growing up. ... she also attended services at a Buddhist temple, however, and as a child positively compared the social messages of Jesus and the Buddha and wondered if it was really necessary to choose between them. So now you know where the 1-star reviewers are coming from ... I would encourage everyone to report false reviews, as they violate the terms of service. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #14,733 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #10 in Educational & Nonfiction Graphic Novels #397 in Children's Comics & Graphic Novels (Books) #410 in Children's Friendship Books | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,562 Reviews | ## Images ![The Tryout: A Graphic Novel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71c6LOUNtkL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gift *by S***R on January 31, 2026* Gift for 8 year granddaughter.

Well, to be honest, she never fit in. When the other girls were flashing their sports bras, she was still wearing T-shirts over her flat chest. Sigh! She had to deal with so many racial remarks and stereotypes that she was dubbed “Rice Girl.” Good thing Christina had her friend beside her. To help fit in, she and Christina decide to tryout for cheerleading. Christina wasn’t that bad, but then her friend ended up being better. Tension results when Megan chooses someone else to be her tryout partner. Oh boy. A wonderful story that says it’s okay to be different. All you need is to put your game face on. After all, every ending has a beginning. A nice read! ## Frequently Bought Together - The Tryout: A Graphic Novel - The Squad: A Graphic Novel (The Tryout #2) (Tryout Graphic Novel, 2) - The New Girl: A Graphic Novel (The New Girl #1) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.fr/products/464705703-the-tryout-a-graphic-novel](https://www.desertcart.fr/products/464705703-the-tryout-a-graphic-novel) --- *Product available on Desertcart France* *Store origin: FR* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
