The Go-for-Gold Gymnasts: Winning Team
Twelve-year-old Brittany Lee Morgan is the best. Or, at least she was at her gymnastics training gym in Ohio. But when her family moves to Texas for a world-class facility, Britt is suddenly a zero in the eyes of her new teammates. The other girls--graceful Christina, perfect Noelle, and quiet Jessie--aren't exactly excited by the arrival of the pint-sized powerhouse. Espe...more

Hmm...I think I need to figure out how to distinguish my children-chapter-book shelf from my YA shelf....but that's another matter.
This book is actually co-authored, although the co-author ALicia Thompson isn't showing up here.
My daughter picked this book out--she loves gymnastics. The book offers a fictionalized insight into the life of Elite gymnasts. The protagonist is 10 or 11, and has moved from Ohio to Texas to train at a more elite gym. Surprise--the other girls at the gym don't like her...more

This beginning of a new series for juveniles by Olympic gymnast Dominique Moceanu is not the strongest book but isn't terrible either.
The main character, Britt, is moving to Texas to train as an elite gymnast. Britt is a very unlikable character. It gets old that she constantly tries to do what she thinks is right in extremely wrong ways.
Another issue that I found quite annoying was consistenly mentioning the beam width. This only needs to be done once particularly since most readers will alre...more

I REALLY Like this book. But the only thing that I was a little confused about was that, on the cover the main character Britt, is on the bar, but through the whole book, I was looking for something to happen and she was always on bar, but, no, she was either on the floor, (which is my favorite event in gymnastics) or on the beam. (My second favorite) That was the only thing I really got a little confused about.

It was really GOOD!!!!!! It has a lot of gymnastics information and it really is a good story. It is about a girl who is having trouble making new friend at her new gym. She realizes a secret and fixes a lot of things with it and other help, her relationships and helps the person who has the secret realize that she should fix her problem.

This is totally a five star book for me. I just loved it! Since I'm into gymnastics right now, this was the perfect book. Britt is nervous about being a Texas Twister. There are already 3 girls who are there, Noelle, Jesie, and a snoby one named Christina.
wow, this book was amazingly googd. I didn't know dominique moceanu could write so well!
I LOVED it!!!
All in all, I think Winning Team accomplishes what it sets out to do. It provides girls interested in competitive gymnastics with a fictionalized peek into that world. I’m not sure girls without this interest would be as excited about the story, but Britt is an engaging enough character that any reader will latch onto her and follow her story to find out what happens.

I really did not care for this book. Obviously I'm not the target audience for it, but I've always loved gymnastics so I thought I would enjoy it. The gymnastics stuff was cool, but the main character was way too unlikable.
