The perfect book for kids who are fans ofย Dancing with the Stars: Juniors! Football hero. Ninja freestyler. It's seventh grade. Anything is possible.
All Dillon wants is to be a real dancer. And if he wins a summer scholarship at Dance-Splosion, heโs on his way. The problem? His dad wants him to play football. And Dillonโs freestyle crew, the Dizzee Freekz, says that dance studios are for sellouts. His friends want Dillon to kill it at the auditionโso he can turn around and tell the studio just how wrong their rules and creativity-strangling ways are.
At first, Dillonโs willing to go along with his crewโs plan, even convincing one of the snobbiest girls at school to work with him on his technique. But as Dillonโs dancing improves, he wonders: what if studios arenโt the enemy? And what if he actually has a shot at winning the scholarship?ย
Dillonโs life is about to get crazy . . . on and off the dance floor in this kid-friendly humorous debut by Brooks Benjamin.

"I couldn't stop smiling. Equal parts hilarious and heartwarming, Dillon's journey to find his people and his place in the world will charm everyone lucky enough to come along for the ride."--Jessica Cluess, author ofย A Shadow Bright and Burning
โA rollicking, big-hearted breakdance of a book. Itโs a story about friendship thatโs got all the moves: humor both sly and slapstick, a diverse cast of characters, and a winning narrator whoโs trying to learn how to follow his heart, find the beat, and dance his pants right off.โ โKate Hattemer, author of The Vigilante Poets of Selwyn Academy

In sixth grade, Brooks Benjamin formed a New Kids on the Block tribute dance crew called the New Kidz. He wasnโt that good at dancing. But now heโs got a new crewโhis wife and their dog. They live in Tennessee, where he teaches reading and writing and occasionally busts out a few dance moves. Heโs still not very good at it.
