Press & Blog Reviews
Debut author Jane Lawes doesn’t put a step wrong in her first three Gym Stars books... Girls aged eight and over will love this fantastic series which is filled with fun, friendship and dreams of fame.
Lancashire Evening Post
Just in time for the 2012 Olympics, this is a super new series... Girls will readily identify with Tara and her friends and enjoy reading about her success. Hopefully, too, [these books] will inspire aspiring young gymnasts to persevere and others to take up the sport.

A new series of books that young, budding Beth Tweddles will love.
