I liked this book because it inspired me to become a better gymnast. I liked Tara best because she is a gymnast. I would recommend it to any gymnastics loving readers.

It's about a girl called Tara who is in a competition. She has to train really hard but she missed out of her friendships. She wins a gold medal in the competition and was allowed to go to her friend's birthday party.

I love Gymnastics so that is why I read this book! This book is about Tara in Gym class and then she and Lindsey are chosen for a Olympic Regional. So then the first week was OK but the second-5 week was no good. Because they where trying to do a Y-Balance but they failed!:( But on the last week to the Olympic Regional they finally nailed it and WON THE WHOLE Olympic REGIONAL! :) My favorite characters are Tara and Kate!

Its a good book that you can't put down. It's about an acrobatic gymnast that longs to follow her dreams but struggles to spend time with her best friends ,do school work and practice for a big upcoming event . Gymnastics seems to be taking over her life! I think anyone interested in acrobatic gymnastics should read this book.

My favourite character is Tara but I really like all of her friends as well. It’s a book about gymnastics and friendship too. Anyone who likes gymnastics and competitions would like this book.

I loved this book because it is about friendship and how a girl realises that her friends are more important than a medal I would recommend this book .

This is a bin about friendship and perseverance, as a group of girls star year 7, and they take part in their first competition in the elite squad.
