In an attempt to raise money to buy new pom-poms for her friend Jenny's cheer squad, Alicia puts together a volleyball tournament. though the author of the "Sports Illustrated Kids" book series are by different authors, they still manage to be illustrated by the same person which I find very interesting. In one of the chapters, Alicia is trying to spike a ball.The way the author explained in in the text didn't really match up with the illustration. This was confusing to follow. Other than that, the illustrations where done in a fun-looking, attention grabbing way. ( )
