Yes! While the Optionals Series is made for children in middle school, the topics are all gymnastics realted and appropriate for younger children. The book, New Challenges, does have frank writing about puberty and getting her period. If your reader is too young for that, she can skip to Strive for Excellence.
The struggles and challenges the characters experience are from either my life as a gymnast or things I saw other gymnasts experience when I was a coach. The characters respond differently than I did (or my athletes did) because they all have different personalities. Oftern times, the characters respond to adversity the way I wish I had responded. -Melisa
