It's the first big competition for Taylor, Abby and the rest of the Glitter cheer squad from the Big D Elite gym. Competitions are nerve-wracking enough, but add in a teammate who is always perfect - and wants everyone else to be too - a slow back walkover and some intense competition and the Glitter squad will have to perform better than ever to take first place.
The world of all-star cheerleading stretches beyond the imagination of a "normal" human being. Misunderstood by most, all-star cheerleading has become one of the fastest growing "industries" in the past decade. We don't cheer for football, we don't cheer for basketball, the only thing we cheer for is our teammates standing next to us. A world full of scandal, drama, drug and alcohol usage, cut-throat tactics, heartache, defeat and the adrenaline rush you feel while performing the two and a half minute routine. This is my story as a level five all-star cheerleader and coach. I take you on my journey to show you what really happens behind closed doors and what happens from the athlete's point of view. I show you why all-star cheerleading has become my biggest weakness and my constant struggle. Step into my world and experience the emotions and struggles that is my never ending addiction and how it has changed my life forever.

A New York Times Notable Book Here is the story of an all-Jewish basketball team traveling in a hearse through Depression-era America in search of redemption and big money. A hilarious road novel, The House of Moses All-Stars is also a passionate portrayal of a young Jewish man struggling to realize his dreams in a country struggling to recover its ideals. Charley Rosen gives us basketball as a metaphor for life. Aaron Steiner, the protagonist of The House of Moses All-Stars, is a man very close to the edge. The former college basketball star has watched his dreams of being a successful player fall apart, his marriage disintegrate, and his baby die. In desperation he accepts his friend’s offer to join a Jewish professional basketball team—The House of Moses All-Stars—which is traveling on a cross-country tour in a renovated hearse. Aaron’s teammates—a Communist, a Zionist, a former bank robber, and a red-headed Irishman who passes for a Jew—are, like Aaron, trying to escape their own troubled pasts. As the members of this motley crew travel west to California through an anti-Semitic land that disdains and rebuffs them, they discover a nation grappling with social and economic collapse and fear of foreigners, in conflict with its own democratic ideals of tolerance and opportunity. Told with a rueful eye, The House of Moses All-Stars looks critically and lovingly at what it means to be an outsider in America.
