Fans of A Mermaid in Middle Grade, Judy Moody, Dork Diaries and The Miscalculation of Lightning Girl, Bunheads, The Night Diary, will love THE GREAT-GALACTIC DANCE COMPETITION books.

K.B. Lacey, Children's Author of the book series The Great-Galactic Dance Competition, is happy to release TRYOUT is the first book in the series that follows a spirited middle school student, Fevah Seren, as she uncovers truths about herself.

Discover how a young girl with big dreams out-smarts her fears and learns the wisdom that confidence is a powerful tool when it’s thrown out to the galactic-verse.

Meet Fevah Seren, a 7500-year-old middle school student with out of this world dance skills.

All Fevah dreams about ALL day, EVERY day, is to represent her planet at the largest galactic dance event of the year — The Great Galactic Dance Competition.

This is her destiny, she just knows it!

Everything is going according to plan until she gets sick, just days before the Tryout for the prestigious glimmer and glam of the high-voltage L-Hite Dance Squad.

When her dance director gives her an extension, Fevah is thrilled, but as the days pass, she has doubts about her perfectly curated dance skills as she watches her best friend out-dance her.

Fevah's downward spiral comes to an end when an unassuming audience throws their wisdom into the galactic ring and teaches her valuable life lessons that could change her life forever.

“She has the skill, but does she have the will to make it happen?”

Through her quirky and unique journal narration, Fevah bonds with readers by sharing relatable stories that expose her strengths, weaknesses, biases and beliefs. The stories are key messages for children aged 8 plus to dream big and dream wide. Fevah wants her readers to know that anxiety and self-doubt are normal, and when you have a big dream, you hold on to it and control negative inner self-dialogue that sabotages your ability to reach that dream.

Supporting the book is a must-have for children in competitive programs, primary and middle school teachers, dance school coordinators and parents/caregivers who support their enthusiastic children.
