It's fun and the girl wants to be like Beth Tweddle and she learns lots of different balances. I love gymnastics so I liked this book.

This book was fun to read, but it wasn't one of the best books I've read. I would recommend it for age 5 and up. My favourite character was Emily, she is Tara's dance partner, because she is very encouraging to Tara.

Cool book for gymnasts to read because Tara is an example of never giving up. But she has problems she must overcome to keep her friends and her place in the Acro squad.
