For 14 year old Joey Jordan, there has really only been one goal in gymnastics: win gold. Winning is all Joey ever thinks about and she's determined to make this her "Gold Medal Summer" once and for all!

Summary:
Unable to avoid getting psyched by her rivals, Joey feels like she's living in the shadow of her older sister, Julia, who won the National Championship at age 16, only to retire with an injury a short time later. Big changes shake up Joey's life both in and outside of the gym, when her best friend and teammate Alex, decided to quit the sport of gymnastics for good. Alex has always been the darling of the Gansett Stars and the pressure to perform up to Alex's standards at the upcoming Regional Championships, is weighing heavy on Joey's shoulders. To make the situation stickier, Joey's old friend Tanner is back in town and cuter than ever! For the first time in her life, Joey is experiencing things that most normal girls get to experience, all while trying to defy her coach and get new and improved routines ready for Regional's... behind his back. Will Joey crash under the high expectations of her family, friends, and coaches? Or will she rise above all the drama and FINALLY have her gold medal summer?
Review:
As a gymnastics fan, I found this book highly entertaining! Even if you have never been a gymnast, the daily struggles Joey faces are relatable to any girl going through her teen years. I liked how in the beginning of the book, Freitas includes detailed pictures of 8 basic gymnastics moves for readers who may be fairly new to the sport. It's an easy read for children ages 10 and up. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in gymnastics or has a child competing in the sport.

I want to read "Gold Medal Summer" because it combines two things I love, reading and gymnastics. It's always nice when two things you love cross paths, so I immediately wanted to read this book once I found out about it. I'd also like to see the pictures of the 8 basic gymnastics moves you mentioned because I've been trying to learn gymnastics skills. (: - @amanda_carmela (You know my Facebook.)
ReplyDeleteI would love to read "Gold Medal Summer" because I love all things gymnastics and especially love reading! I am fairly new to following elite gymnastics (a little over a year) but am eager to read anything I can get my hands on to learn more about the sport. I did gymnastics for about 18 months when I was about 5-6 years old but had to quit because of an injury and have recently gotten back in to it and started following it again! - Molly Miller @mollymoo10394
ReplyDeleteI'd absolutely love to receive and read this book!! I am a gymnast myself and I have a little sister who is a gymnast who would also enjoy reading this! I love to follow elite gymnastics!

I'd love to read this book... I've been retired from gymnastics for almost three years now and I miss it every day. I love to find new ways of staying involved and interested, though, and I'm such a reader anyhow that this is a logical step. :) hahaha. Thanks for the giveaway, guys - you're the best!

I would love to read Gold Medal Summer because it combines two of my favorite things in the world: reading and gymnastics! I'm fairly new to the sport, but I've grown to be so passionate about it that I sometimes even surprise myself! I think reading Gold Medal Summer would be a great opportunity to learn more about gymnastics get a little more insight into the daily life of a gymnast. I've also incorporated gymnastics into some of my own creative writing, so I would love to to see how others write about gymnastics in their work. Also, conveniently enough, I just finished the last book on my summer reading list, so this would be the perfect time to read Gold Medal Summer ;) Thanks so much for doing this contest, Triple Twist and Donna Freitas!
