Quarter High Chronicles: Fight for the Spotlight

This is a sequel to Life is a Cakewalk. You should definitely check Life is a Cakewalk out but it is not necessary to read Fight for the Spotlight.

"'Emily!' My mom says warning me to watch what I say next. Nancy just stares at me her mouth gaping like a fish. Did she not expect me to remember her degrading me? She picked the wrong person to pick on because I hold a grudge and do not forget things easily. I fight back and am good at it. Nancy has met her match. One of us is going down and it sure as heck is not going to be me."

Fight for the Spotlight revolves around a sophomore attending Quarter High named Emily Sparks. Emily wants more than anything to be the leading lady in her school play along with her new found best friend Carter Cambridge who happens to be the leading male. Unfortunately for Emily not all of the drama is left on stage because her nemesis fights for the same role and plays dirty.

Emily's enemy so happens to be the Queen Bee of Quarter High, Nancy Breeland. Not only does Nancy ruin Emily's life at school but thanks to Sam, Emily's older brother, Nancy ruins Emily's home life too. Nancy and Sam are always arguing and it is painfully clear to everyone that they don't belong together.

Thankfully Emily doesn't have to deal with Nancy's drama alone because Emily has two best friends, Brenda and Annabelle. Brenda is a fantastic artist who is going out with the school quarterback and lead in the musical. They seem to be perfect together but after all it is a high school relationship so how long can it last?

Annabelle is a positive and energetic girl who loves softball and may have found a boy who has caught her interest. After years of stupid middle/high school relationships has Annabelle found someone to be serious with? Through finding love, losing love and fighting for their dreams this group of people make an exciting high school story come to life.
