Critics Review

Praise for Squad Goals:

“Magic is such a lovable, kind, sweet character…If you love coming of age [and] girl power you should read this book!”
Jen’s Book Den


Squad Goals really is a charming, cute read that reminded me a lot of the kind of books the Disney Channel Original Movies are adapted from. There’s a plucky, awkward heroine, embarrassing but loving parents and older sister, a ‘from-diapers’ type of friendship with best friend Capricorn, and the main character’s dream to step into her family’s legacy… I couldn’t help rooting for [Magic] and the rest of the friends she made at the summer cheerleading camp.”

My Black Bookish Life

“This is one of the best middle grade books I have enjoyed in a long time. It was so funny and sweet. I could not put it down once I started. Magic is a such a fun protagonist.”
