I think this was a pretty good book, except for the sabotaging. (person from South Africa, you're right: this book is a little silly cuz of the sabotaging). Jessica and Dawn didn't like each other at first, when they saw how good the other was at gymnastics and wanted to ruin their rountine, but when Jessica started going over to Dawn's school and helping her practice gymnastics, Dawn started softening up a little, and they became pretty good friends. Besides the sabotaging, this book was pretty good. I have to say: this is a MUST READ book.

I thought this was a really great book. I'm interested in gymnastics so this book was a great read. But what I didn't like about the book was all the sabotage. I thought it was really silly and immature. Like when Dawn put oil on Jessica's grips and then Jessica, in retaliation, put suger instead of chalk in the tray. I also thought it was weird that Jessica was such a champion in her team and that everyone thought that she'd take the team to the California Games, yet she'd never done it before in 6th grade. And this book is set in the 6th grade. I find it quite impossible for someone to be such a champ when she hadn't even done gymnastics before in the same grade!Well, I suppose, since it's Jessica Wakefield, she has to be good at everything she does.I also didn't like the way Jessica and the others treated Donald Zwerdling. They all acted like he was some kind of inferior being. Aside from that I thought it was a great book.

Jessica,Lila,Mary are all in Gymnastics to enter in the California Games. Jessica meets Dawn Maven,A Weston Middle School Girl,one day,as Jessica is practicing,she slips up. Dawn puts baby oil on the parallel bars and pretends that her leg is hurt to hide the baby oil. To get even,Jessica puts sugar in the chalk,to make Dawn slip off the parallel bars. She hurts her knee or leg. Jessica feels guilty,that She brings her a basket of stuff. Dawn is angry at Jess. They make up.

This is a good book in which Jessica learns how to put away rivalry and vicious competition and to work with a difficult girl competitor in order to win a gymnastic competition fairly,and not because that competitor has been injured.Jess shows great maturity and initiative and is a noble role-model in this book.

I found this book very good. Aswell as being very enjoyable, it explained a few things about gymnastics. It took me a day to read it because I couldn't put it down!

In this book, Jessica and her gymnastics team are trying to qualify for the California Games. But they never mention Jessica's doing gymnastics earlier in the series. How can someone get on a gymnastics team and go to a major competition without doing gymnastics before? There are some other flaws, but it is a nice book and I think kids will enjoy reading it.
