A high-energy novel in verse starring a fifth grader who is almost as devoted to competitive gymnastics as she is to hiding her poor reading skills. What happens when Claires secret starts unraveling? Claire is by far the best gymnast on her team, and shes well on her way to qualifying for the state championships. The gym is where Claire shines. But at school, shes known as a troublemaker. She seems to spend more time in the office than in classwhich is fine with her since it enables her to hide the fact that she cant read. She has never been able to make sense of the wobbling jumble of letters on a page. No one except her BFF knows. But when a sympathetic principal wonders if Claire is acting out because shes dyslexic, her mother balks. Shes afraid Claire will be labeled stupid and refuses testing. Claire has always assumed shes dumb; she never imagined her reading problem could have a solution. Is she strong enough to take on both her reading challenges and her mothers denial? Is it worth jeopardizing her spot in qualifiers? Told in clear and poignant verse and featuring black and white illustrations, Claires struggle with something that seems to come easily to everyone else will resonate with readers and have them cheering her on.
