Somersaults and Dreams: Going for Gold (Somersaults and Dreams)
Cate Shearwater
For fans of Cathy Cassidy and Holly Willoughby's School for Stars - tumble into the world of competitive gymnastics – friendships, dreams, tears, and tumbles! Ellie has reached the national gymnastics squad training camp. Now it feels like she is just a somersault away from her dream of competing in the Euros! But with training harder than ever, rivalries even fiercer and a new coach who seems determined to make sure she fails, Ellie feels as though she has to do whatever it takes … including hiding a potentially-career ruining injury. How far is Ellie really willing to go for gold?

Very long book . But Ellie trengilly was a role model to everyone who has given up not just gymnastics but every sport and achievement there is. She has also shown that if you work hard anything is possible even making a great teem

It was really good if you want to go to the olympics in gymnastics with team GB this will inspire you. It is all about team work.

My favourite character was Ellie because many exciting things happen to her. Ellie made it to National Squad training camp where 12 gymnasts are trying to get on the European Championships Squad. Whilst she is training she got stress fracture but did not tell anyone. In the end she got sent to her home town Cornwall because she could not training the gym. Ellie is allowed back to training camp and then gets chosen for European Championships. (Ellie becomes European Champion)

It is a fiction book and it is all about a gymnast who gets injured just before a competition and it has a lot of suspense add you don't know if she will recover in time. I would recommend this book to ages 7 and above as it a really nice read and great if you love gymnastics.

Ellie is a young gymnast, but her life twists as she fractures her ankle, and has to row in a gig that her mean coach Vivian made her do so that she could build up strength in her muscles. When she is fully recovered, Ellie is called back to the Gymnastics Academy for Junior Euros. Will she come 1st, 2nd or 3rd, or none of them? I recommend this book to people who like gymnastics. It is a bit boring is some places because there is not much vocabulary, but it was still interesting to read!
