@LoriTecler @SimonKIDS Thank you for this review, Lori! Hope your readers appreciate Leah and all of Team Awkward as much as I do. :)

[Lori Tecler @LoriTecler]

I think the new TEAM AWKWARD series by Joy McCullough & @veedabybee will be a hit w/my school's readers. The characters & themes in the books are easily relatable for #MGLit readers & at under 200 pages, just the right length for moving on from chapter books. @SimonKIDS (1/2)

@MrSchuReads Thank you so much, John! So glad we share this love of musicals. 🎶
