Gold Medal Summer by Donna Freitas

4.0

I like to read the books my students and children are reading - just so I understand what they are interested in. I found this fascinating, as my daughter truly related to it. It was interesting to hear the thoughts of a character who is as dedicated to gymnastics as my daughter is - kind of like taking a peek into her mind. I think it will help prepare me for the emotions of the next few years as she continues onher quest for success at Nationals - we arenot there yet, but that is my daughters goal. I think I will ker this boom on the family bookshelf - just to remind us of the different faces of this challenge.
I was especially thrilled to discover it was written by a gymnast - she knows what she is talking about!
