The Beam Dream: Maya's Big Leap to Confidence and the Gold Star Championship (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798254174035)

Does your young athlete ever feel the "butterflies" before a big challenge?

Nine-year-old Maya Rossi is a star at Starlight Gymnastics Academy-until she faces the "wooden dragon." To everyone else, it's just a four-inch-wide balance beam. To Maya, it's the one thing standing between her and her dreams.

With the Gold Star Invitational just weeks away, the stakes have never been higher. The Sparklers are counting on Maya to nail her back walkover to secure the team trophy. But after a "Wobbly Wednesday" and a frustrating injury, Maya begins to wonder: Does she have what it takes to be a champion?

In The Beam Dream, young readers will join Maya as she discovers that true magic isn't found in a sparkly leotard-it's found in resilience. Through focus, rhythm, and a little help from her best friend Leo, Maya learns that being brave doesn't mean you aren't scared; it means you have the courage to take a leap of faith anyway.
