New Challenges

Paige is back in this Perfect Balance Gymnastics spin-off series about the challenges of middle school and optionals gymnastics.

Paige has been invited to train with the Level 6 team, the first level of optionals, at Perfect Balance Gymnastics Academy. Paige has been looking forward to optionals where she can compete her own routines. Her coaches believe she can learn her new skills and routines in time for the first Level 6 meet in six weeks. But Paige is growing so fast that learning new skills has become a huge challenge. She feels big and clunky compared to her younger teammates.

Conversely, Paige feels young and small at middle school. Her school friends talk about cramps and their period. The more Paige listens the more she’s convinced she does not want to become a woman. Paige is turning 13 this fall and she realizes she can’t stop puberty from coming. Will Paige find the confidence she needs to handle new routines, puberty, and middle school?
