What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

Twelve-year-old Sofia Martinez is the best gymnast at Riverside Gymnastics Center, but when a fall from the balance beam (usually her best event) results in a concussion, she finds herself afraid of the beam, and equally afraid to tell anyone about her fear of falling–Sofia needs help before her trauma drives her away from gymnastics forever.
