Kylie Jean decides to sign up for gymnastics lessons. After much practice, she performs in the big showcase event. But she learns that making a new friend is even better than becoming a tumbling queen. AGES: 6-8 AUTHOR: Marci Bales Peschke was born in Indiana, grew up in Florida, and now lives in Texas, where she is a librarian. She has lived in three haunted houses, but now lives with her husband, two children, and a feisty black and white cat named Phoebe. She loves reading and watching movies. ILLUSTRATOR: When Tuesday Mourning was a little girl, she knew she wanted to be an artist when she grew up. Now, she is an illustrator who lives in Utah. She especially loves illustrating books for kids and teenagers. When she isn't illustrating, Tuesday loves spending time with her husband, who is an actor, and their children.
Characters in this book are really well framed, especially Kylie, who is caring and pretty. She learned Sign Language to talk to her friend Abby and from that she learned gymnastics. Kylie's dream is being a gymnastics queen; my dream is to become an astronaut. What is yours-- "Kids' Book Buzz/San Francisco Book Reivew"
