Brief description: Heather E. Schwartz writes books for kids from her home in upstate New York. She loves writing because she loves learning new things, brainstorming creative ideas, and moving words around on a page. In her spare time, she runs a website for young writers (WriteintheMiddle.co). She also enjoys baking cookies in fun shapes, throwing holiday parties, walking in the woods, eating cider donuts, and spending time with her family.
Review Quotes: Focusing on women's competitive gymnastics, each entry in this series includes a visual and written description of techniques, as well as information about each event's most famous stars. There is frequent mention of working with a gymnastics club and coach to hopefully keep readers from attempting difficult maneuvers on their own and injuring themselves. . . .Purchase if your gymnastics collection needs a fresh face.-- "School Library Journal"
