In Turning Point, we reunite with the Pirates Cove gang (minus a few) - mostly Mila, Mo, Sheeda, and Tai. Magic is struggling with getting fit and flexible enough, learning stunts, dealing with the breakup of a lifelong friendship, and trying to figure out who she wants to be. While Magic is bonding with the “Stumble-bees” (her cheer group) and maybe making progress with her crush, Dallas Chase, Capricorn is carried away befriending the cool girls in the camp. But once they arrive at camp and get sorted into teams by ability, Magic and Cappie’s friendship starts to show cracks. Her best friend and child star Capricorn is coming with her (mostly for moral support - Cappie is an athletic, talented dancer).
But she’s decided: she’s going to cheer camp to try her hand out at becoming a Honeybee. Magic is awkward, chubbier than your typical cheerleader, and loves sweets more than anything else. In Squad Goals, Magic Pointdexter is her family’s “ugly duckling.” Her father is an ex-NBA player, her sister a famous cheerleader, and her late grandmother was also a ceiling-shattering cheerleader. On top of everything else, Keiko’s family seems to be changing: her mom is working later and later, and seems to be avoiding coming home - and her little sister seems to keeping a secret. As a result, confrontation-averse, peace-making Keiko is forced to decide whether or not she will stand up for herself in her friendship with Audrey. She also rekindles some old friendships that threaten her relationship with Audrey. It doesn’t help that Audrey seems boy-crazy and has never really gotten on too well with Jenna anyway.Īs Jenna and Audrey’s friendship deteriorates over the fall, Keiko feels torn between both girls. But when Jenna returns from Texas, she’s doesn’t seem to fit back in seamlessly anymore - probably because they stopped texting each other after a while. Keiko is thrilled that her two BFFs, Jenna and Audrey, are reuniting with her after their first ever summer apart. Keep It Together, Keiko Carter is Debbi Michiko Florence’s middle-grade debut.
