We loved this book! Perfect for anyone who has an obsession with gymnastics and wants to disappear into that world for fun and adventure
by Doris
This is a great book to read to my 7 year old daughter who is a keen gymnastic. It is politically correct according to my daughter, to real gym moves and wording.
by Tracy Game
My daughter loves this book as the story line relates to her life at present. Keeps her interested and determined to find out what might happen next in the story line. Brilliant for interested gymnasts.
by MrPea
My daughter (aged 7) is quite taken with the book – even though she’s only just started it (at first as a bedtime story) and having a self-initiated interest in gymnastics. I think she can picture herself in the story.
I made a good choice.

These books are fantastic – very well written and my daughter loves them. The author is amazing and we just wish she would write more in the series. If your child likes gymnastics – buy all three, you will not regret it. They also cover friendship and homework issues. We love these books so much, we even dressed as Tara for World Book Day, and now our whole class is reading them! Thoroughly recommend.
