She can jump, twist and somersault better than anyone else on Earth. With more medals than any other American gymnast, Simone Biles has consistently wowed her audience, impressed the judges and won every competition imaginable. This is the story of one of the most skilled gymnasts of all time and her journey from her childhood gymnastics club to the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.
Charlotte has worked as a journalist for a number of publications from The Independent to Prima. She has also written for a variety of organisations within the non-profit and charity sector. In 2017 she co-wrote the childhood memoirs 'Free Boots and Back-to-Backs'. She is the author of four children's books, in the Ultimate Football Heroes series, which tell the biographical stories of professional female footballers. In 2019 she co-wrote an anthology, 'Breast Cancer and Me: Inspirational Stories of Living With and Beyond Breast Cancer' for Asda's Tickled Pink campaign. She probably couldn't write or live without music and loves playing her favourite songs on piano.
