But no matter how strong her willpower is, the dark secret that Eva has worked so hard to conceal seems determined to reveal itself…

Brilliant book!

I love this book. I would recommend to all girls age 10-14 and all gymnastics fans! It is a cool and funny book and things that you don't expect tend to happen! It is quite sad about her sister :( Overall this book deserves 5 stars!!!

5 out of 5
