But when she does finally engineer a friendship of sorts, Maddie realises that Samara has a secret.When Samara enlists Maddie to raise money to keep her family from being separated, Maddie finally feels important and needed. So when Samara asks her to go one step further and start stealing, Maddie makes a decision that will have consequences beyond her imagining.

Even me.
Even though I am wishing, more than anything, that I could perform like that. And knowing, with a horrible sinking feeling, that I never will.
Chelsea is the hardest worker in her gymnastics club and she’s determined to make the Nationals team, and then the Olympics.

It’s time for Chelsea to figure out what’s really important – and just maybe take a leap into the unknown . . .
