Mina Mooney and the Del Rio Bay Clique are back on the scene in That’s What’s Up! by Paula Chase. Mina and Brian are now officially a couple. Mina has snared the new hot boy and could not be happier about it. However, the thing that makes her happiest is that she is now considered an Upper, one of the insiders. She is finally in the cafeteria, hanging out with the most popular set and knows that she has arrived. Her arch rival, Jessica, is not at all happy about it. In fact it makes her hate Mina more because she is in the clique due to her sweetness, not because she is rich.
It is almost spring break and the Extreme Nationals are occurring at the same time. The Extreme is the huge cheerleading competition that occurs annually. All of the kids are looking forward to it, especially the cheerleaders, including arch rivals, Mina and Jessica. Jessica decides that during the weekend she is going to befriend Mina, calling a truce, after all Mina is her twin sister, Sara’s friend. Sara has always wanted Jessica to be nicer to Mina, and of course. a sister will do anything for a twin, or will she? Although, Mina is leery of Jessica she decides to accept the truce. After all Mina is known for trying to make lemonade from lemons. What is not clear is will the lemonade be sour or sweet.
Before the competition is underway there are schemes and plans. The girls, particularly Mina, will be tested in ways other than their cheerleading talents. Ms. Chase has once again brought us the group from Del Rio Bay High school and it is as much fun as ever to see what they are up to and the lessons they will learn.
