Twelve-year-old Sofia Martinez, once the star of Riverside Gymnastics Center, faces her toughest challenge yet. After a fall from the balance beam leaves her with a concussion, fear grips her every move.

Can she conquer her fears and reclaim her place on the beam, or will her silence cost her everything she loves? Discover Sofia's journey of courage and resilience.

From the publisher

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.
