Jeremy Bender vs. the Cupcake Cadets

(3) 4-6 After damaging his father's sailboat, Jeremy needs money. There's five hundred dollars for the taking if he can win the Windjammer Whirl, a model sailboat race for the Cupcake Cadets. So Jeremy and his best friend try to act like girls and join the all-female troop. With a light touch, this humorous diversionary read reveals much about gender roles, stereotyping, and individuality.
