Series: The Brinkley Yearbooks

Get ready to brave the most intimidating event of all time—the middle school dance—easier said than done for Milo, who is convinced he can't dance because he's cursed. Another yearbook-worthy graphic novel from the creator of the Brinkley Yearbook series and bestselling Picture Day!

Milo wants to get excited for the school dance, but he can’t—because he’s cursed. Every time he tries to dance, something goes horribly wrong. Like at his cousin's wedding, when he tripped into the cake... Or on Halloween, when he nearly got a concussion after an ill-timed wipeout...

His best friends, Al and Viv, are determined to help Milo break the curse—and find the confidence to enjoy the dance. And they're not alone, because Milo's abuela, a legendary dancer, is moving in. Abuela knows Milo has what it takes to follow in her—literal—footsteps.

But with several new mishaps in his way, does Milo have any chance of putting his best foot forward?

Readers won't want to miss this next installment in the Brinkley Yearbooks series that's all about finding your footing, your confience, and yourself!
