"Gymnastic books for teens are surprisingly few, and Carter has crafted an intense look into the pressures of this ambitious and all-consuming lifestyle."-- Booklist "Character development carries this story, making an engaging read even for those not interested in gymnastics." "Carter has created five memorable characters whose voices resonate long after the story ends."-- School Library Journal "A glossary of terms is included for the uninitiated, but those heavily involved in the sport will truly understand and appreciate the nuances of scorekeeping, the politics of team assemblage, and the friends-rivals dynamics. Tumbling by Caela Carter follows four gymnasts through the US Olympic trials. Each of them has a different history with the sport and a different strategy, but all are vying for a spot on that plane to Rome. The Good. So I loved Make It or Break It. I still love it and re-watch the whole thing every once in a while.
About Tumbling. For fans of Make It Or Break It, a novel about the road to Olympics for the world’s most elite gymnasts. Work harder than anyone. Be the most talented. The novel’s cast of hopefuls is made up of mostly white girls, with a couple of black girls, a Latina, and one girl who is half-Chinese. There’s a closeted lesbian, and another is Jewish. There are mean girls and meek girls; backstabbers and best friends; veterans and “brand-new baby seniors.”.
