First sentence: Every day before school, Zoe watched the birds perched in the tree outside her bedroom window. She loved the way they hopped and balanced on the branches. She loved the way they flew.
Premise/plot: Zoe, the heroine, is excited to start gymnastics. But when she falls off the beam, will Zoe have the courage to get back up and try again?!
My thoughts: I liked this one. I thought it was cute. The theme--or moral--is a practical one. It is written by an Olympic gymnast--a champion.
