Fifteen-year-old Gia Stokes knows exactly what she needs to make her life fantabulous:
  •  Get her mother Gwendolyn to let her relax her hair
  •  Find a boy to ask her out
  •  Get on the Hi-Steppers dance squad
    Gia doesn't have the hair or the clothes, but she's got the moves and the attitude to make her sophomore year at Longfellow High unforgettable. But not everyone agrees, so Gia decides it's time for a makeover. With her stylish new look, she scores a date with hottie football player, Romeo, snags a spot on the Hi-Steppers dance squad, and makes a ton of new friends. Gia's on top of the world?until things go horribly wrong. Now Gia feels like all she has left is her mom and her faith. That's not going to stop Gia, she's just got to convince the Hi-Steppers and everyone else at school, to follow her lead and step to her beat.
