"Gymnastics – friendships – competition"
Junior gymnast Tara has a lot to juggle when she’s asked to take part in a regional competition. There are all the moves to learn with her partner Lindsay, but Tara has just started secondary school too. Fitting in gym practice and homework is difficult, and doesn’t leave much time for anything else, such as seeing her other friends. Janes Lawes does a great job at describing the rewards of following a sport, as well as the challenges, and readers will be happy to see that Tara finds a way to achieve balance between her sport, friends and school. A satisfying story that is good on the thrills and spills of competition.
Tara has always loved gymnastics, and joining Silverdale Gymnastics Club has been a dream come true. But with the summer holidays at an end, and Tara starting secondary school, trying to juggle schoolwork, friendships and gymnastics training is proving tricky. Can Tara find a balance between the most important things in her life?
