OLDER FICTION
Johnson, Shawn

The Flipside

(4) YA With Amy Sonnichsen. Charlie wants desperately to be a normal teenage girl, so she hides her intense gymnastics training from her school friends. But Charlie's two worlds compete when she's asked to the prom--right before the Olympic trials. While multi-medalist Johnson has unique perspective into chasing an Olympic dream, the dialogue-heavy first-person narrative focuses more on the slim romance than on an insider's experience.
