No hay nada mejor que subir a un podio y sujetar un trofeo en lo alto. Pero vale más un premio que la amistad?
No hay mejor sensación en el mundo que subir a lo más alto del podio y alzar un trofeo en alto. Al menos, eso es lo que Allie piensa... nunca ha ganado nada. Todos en su familia son especiales de alguna manera: su hermana menor es una estrella de la televisión; su hermano es un prodigio del fútbol; su bisabuelo ganó la Medalla de Honor del Congreso.
Con una familia así, Allie sabe que debe dejar huella o arriesgarse a quedarse atrás. Está decidida a añadir una medalla brillante, un listón azul o un hermoso trofeo al acervo familiar. Cuando se anuncia un prestigioso concurso escolar, Allie tiene la oportunidad perfecta de llevarse el primer puesto, por fin. Solo hay un pequeño inconveniente... su mayor competencia es también su exmejor amiga, Sara. Podrá Allie llevarse el primer premio y recuperar a una amiga, o estará destinada a perderlo todo?
Is winning top prize worth losing a friend?
No better feeling exists in the world than stepping to the top of a winner's podium and hoisting a trophy high in the air. At least, that's what Allie thinks . . . she's never actually won anything before. Everyone in her family is special in some way -- her younger sister is a rising TV star; her brother is a soccer prodigy; her great-grandfather is a Congressional Medal of Honor winner.
With a family like this, Allie knows she has to make her mark or risk being left behind. She's determined to add a shiny medal, blue ribbon, or beautiful trophy to her family's award shelf. When a prestigious school contest is announced, Allie has the perfect opportunity to take first -- at last. There's just one small snag . . . her biggest competition is also her ex-best friend, Sara. Can Allie take top prize and win back a friend -- or is she destined to lose it all?
