Off Rhythm

Gymnastics #4

by April Adams

Kelley steps to the mat. Presents and poses. Inhales. Steps and extends her leg. Exhales while throwing herself into a wind-milling leg extension that positions her pointed toe exactly opposite from the tip of her head. Her pointed leg spins in opposition to her shoulders and head so that when her foot reaches straight up to the sky, her head almost touches the floor and all while spinning a hoop on her wrist.

Kelley and the Kips are back, but this season Kelley is determined that not only does she need to execute skills with precision and performance, she needs to do it while throwing, catching and balancing a ball.

Rhythmic gymnastics is Kelley's new passion but can she balance old friends, new friends and her sport, or will she be thrown Off Rhythm?

Reviews

[Susan · Rating 1 out of 5]

This whole last book felt like a bait and switch from the rest of the series, as it follows Kelley leaving the Kips and competitive gymnastics to switch to a whole different team to learn rhythmic gymnastics and new characters. Still plagued by many errors in grammar, spelling and even more typos than usual with wrong words and doubled words and missing words. I wish I could be kinder, as tge premise 9f this series and the first 2 books were quite decent and I'd recommend them to kids interested in gymnastics, but the writing in this one was lazy and even the sports aspects were dull unless readers actually like rhythmic gymnastics. Just 1 star. Glad I'm done reading these and gladder that they were free on Kindle Unlimited.
