Handsprings & Homework

Gym Stars #3

by Jane Lawes

Cartwheel into this sparkling new series about the exciting, energetic and inspirational world of gymnastics! Gym-mad Tara still can't believe she's part of the Silverdale Gymnastics club - and that she's through to the National Acrobatics Gymnastics competition! But Tara would much rather be practising her backflips and learning new balances than doing maths questions or history essays, and her homework is starting to pile up. When her teachers notice her schoolwork sliding, Tara is caught between school and gym...Will Tara be able to finish all her work on time and win the gold? Girls will love this fantastic new series filled with fun, friendship and backflips.

In this book Tara is heading off to Nationals and is super excited!

However once again her and Lindsay need to practise even harder to be fully perfect to win gold.



Balancing friendships and schoolwork as well as feeling the pressure of running out of time to be perfect for her most important performance yet, Tara is set at proving herself capable more than ever.



I enjoyed this trilogy and as someone who isn't able to do gymnastics, I loved these books for making me live vicariously through Tara. Full of fun and stress we can relate to Tara immensely as school's pressure kids more and more about homework etc. The book was short and was super quick to read.
