From food, fashion, music, TV, comic books, and everything in between, Maya researches all she can about American life. Is there any way Maya, Queen of Georgia Gold Gymnasts, can become Maya, Queen of American pop culture?

This was a cute story following Kelly and Maya, but it was really annoying for a majority of the book all of the Silver Stars made Maya feel awkward and weird for being Russian. I don't know, it was just weird to me, but I loved how Harry talked to Maya and explained to her that she doesn't have to give up her Russian heritage and culture just because she is America now. I think that was a sweet conversation.
Also, I really want someone to film themselves doing the Kobayashi Maneuver because for the life of me I can't imagine what it looks like.
