The Balancing Act (Go-for-Gold Gymnasts, The Book 2)

My daughter loved Balancing Act and Winning Team so much that she read them both in a few days and is now devouring Unexpected Twist. I was not swayed by naysayers whose reviews found too little of this or that. The culture of girls' gymnastics and the love of the sport itself was enough to make my daughter, once a reluctant reader, into an avid reader. Hmm, as a teacher for many years, I know this is the affective outcome we all want for our children: to love reading. My daughter was very bored with reading, despite her superior language and reading skills. What is most important to her is that the content reflect a world she wants to be a part of. As a former gymnast myself, I love reading along with her on our Kindle HDX. The Kindle HDX is dynamic (push to find vocabulary definitions) and alluring enough to draw her in daily.

Great read!

My daughter loves all of these books by Ms. Moceanu. I do have to mention that she is a beginning gymnast, so that probably has something to do with it. Age is 9yrs, and is appropriate for her reading level.

Balancing act is a story about not just only a little gymnast, but sends a message to everyone. It is not directly to gymnastics, but to everyone who works hard to exceed a dream. Never give up on something you love.

Great topic. My students that are gymnasts love this book.

Very cute series of books for my 8 year old who is a competitive gymnastics. She loved this book and could really relate.

My grand-daughter is into gymnastics and the balance beam is her favorite apparatus. She enjoyed getting this book for Christmas.

I loved it. A little boring in the beginning of it though. It could need some improvements though. But it was good. I'll read the third book and then read bun heads. Sencie I like ballet and pointe shoes.<3

Not read yet but the book looks good and sure young gymnasts will love it. My book arrived with the front and back cover damaged which did spoil it slightly as it was a gift.

The book is a good read for schoolkids interested in gymnastics.

Thanks

I THOUGHT THIS WAS ABOUT HER LIFE..ITS JUST A MADE UP STORY..
