Melisa Torres' Perfect Balance Gymnastics Series Book 1: Achieve Optimal Performance with Proven Techniques

ReneaMarseeReneaMarsee: My friend recommended I buy this series for my 7 year old daughter who is training level 4. The text is too difficult for her to read by herself but she really enjoys me reading it to her as a bedtime story. The chapters are relatively short and easy to read out loud. I love that the moral of the story in each book applies to my daughters life and she’s going through similar things as the characters in the story.

Kelsey: My young gymnast daughter loves reading these books. They describe gym and competitions in a similar way as she has experienced. I would recommend to any gymnast between the ages of 5-10.

Amazon Customer: I bought book 1 and 2 so far for my 7 year old daughter. She’s a level 3 gymnast and the book sounds a lot like they are telling her story. This series so far has kept her very interested. We really are enjoying it 👍👍❤️

Olena Zlatogorska: My daughter is very happy with it and wants to have the rest of the books. I just feel the price is too high compared to other similar books.

Alison Simmons: We have really enjoyed the stories in this series, and appreciate the friendships and characters she has created. These are more everyday stories, rather than focusing on Olympic hopefuls. The conflict is minimal, and the coaches are supportive, which paints things as a little rosy compared to real life.
My issue with this series is the number of typos in the books. As we read them together, I have had to correct a sentence or the grammar in a section in order to make sure my daughter is hearing the correct language and grammar. They are self published, which I understand, but I hope that if she continues writing this series, a proofreader is consulted prior to publication. I have found issues in each of the books, and as a professional proofreader, I can’t help but find these distracting and unprofessional. We are excited for the series to continue, and anxiously await the next in the series.

Ms. L. J. Branch: This book is very expensive considering the incredibly brief storyline. It’s well written and the characters are nicely drawn, but the plot is skimpy. At the point where the book ended, my daughter said, “This has to be a mistake - it’s only just got going.” We felt the reading time versus cost made it very poor value.
