A season measured by one score

Carmen Alvarez’s first season in competitive gymnastics brings a specific hurdle: she needs a 34.00 All-Around score to move from Level 4 to Level 5. After early mistakes and falls, the question becomes whether she can secure another meet—and what happens if the season ends before she reaches that mark. The gymnastics setting gives the challenge a concrete goal, while the story also addresses confidence and perseverance. As the sixth book in the Perfect Balance Gymnastics series, it is described as a standalone story, with a fourth- to fifth-grade reading level.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 8–12 interested in gymnastics stories.
  • Readers who enjoy stories about self-confidence, perseverance, and working toward a goal.
  • Those looking for a standalone entry in the Perfect Balance Gymnastics series.

Book overview

Join Carmen as she goes after her goal of scoring out of Level 4.

 

Carmen Alvarez is new to competitive gymnastics, and it isn't quite what she expected. Her Level 4 season is having a rough start with silly mistakes and several falls. Carmen continues to work hard. But just when she has competition figured out, she learns she must score a 34.00 All-Around to be eligible for Level 5. What will Carmen do if her season ends without getting the coveted 34.00 All-Around? Can she talk her family and coaches into letting her attend one more meet to try to get the score? And if she can get to another meet, will she be able to score out?
