This would take me back to my own days at the gym . . . gymnastics is a unique world full of lots of conflict to explore, especially at that age.

I think my daughter would enjoy this – she is only 8 so I might have to read it first to see if it would be OK for her. Thanks for the great review!

It sounds like this book is out at the perfect time! I never did gymnastics growing up, but liked watching it on tv when the Olympics were on- so I probably would have wanted to read this book. Great review.

This book sounds fabulous! I'm a sucker for anything related to the Olympics. 🙂

Sounds like a great look into a world in which most of us only see the "glories" of–like the Olympics. So much work and sacrifice goes into those TV moments we catch.

I may go ahead and order this one without reading it, since it's gotten good reviews. I felt bad deaccessioning my only gymnastics book (Bonham's The Rascals from Haskell's Gym), but it was sooo old and unappealing. This does look very good.
