Illustrated by
Christine Davenier.
Young Nadia Comaneci had endless energy, so her mother signed her up for gymnastics, where she could "jump, swing, and run." The engaging story of a girl who worked hard through setbacks is complemented by ink and colored-pencil illustrations that match Nadia's energy, capturing both her falls and her flights to Olympic perfect 10s. An afterword shares how Nadia defected from Romania. Timeline, websites. Bib.
