-She made it to World Championships in 2011 and "did pretty well"
-She was guaranteed a spot on the 2012 Olympic team, but...

Wondering if anyone has a review of this book? DD loves gymnastics fiction, but at 9, I am wondering if she is too young for this book? Besides the Go For the Gold series, does anyone have any gymnastics fiction recommendations?
So today on shawn's Instagram account she announced that she has been writing a novel for young adults. The book is about a high school sophomore who keeps her gymnastics life a secret. I personally am really excited for shawn and will be reading it. The book is currently available from Simon...
So, while watching the Olympics last night, this really funny commercial for some TV show with Shawn on it came on. Sorry, I can't find a video link (probably would help if I could remember the name of the show! :D), but I will describe it: (this will not be word for word, but close enough)
So...
There is something I'd like to bring up, though I'm worried I can't because it does involve weight. But I don't want to talk about weight really.
There is a part in the book when Shawn was on Dancing With the Stars and she was upset about her weight gain. One of the things she spoke about was...

Does anybody know if you can still play the game without the balanceboard? I was thinking of getting this for Christmas for DD but we don't have the balance board. If the game works without one then I could get it but I don't want to purchase the game if I then must go out and also purchase the...
