Growing up takes courage and some of the most important lessons happen beyond the spotlight. Flipping Pointe is a heartfelt coming-of-age novel set against the demanding worlds of ballet and gymnastics. As a young girl discovers what dedication means, she must learn to navigate expectations, setbacks, and the everyday challenges of finding her own way. Through the demand of practice and the emotions of growing up, friendships bring companionship, family offers comfort, and small moments become lasting entities. Progress takes patience, mistakes offer lessons, and confidence grows one step at a time. Inspired by the author's childhood experiences, Flipping Pointe brings together the discipline of athletics and the warmth of family life. It explores determination, belonging, and the courage to keep going, while celebrating the people who make the journey meaningful. This revised edition invites readers into a story filled with friendship, family, and the simple feelings that shape who we become. Written for readers ages 10-14, Flipping Pointe will appeal to young people who love ballet, gymnastics, and heartfelt stories about growing up.
