4-6AG Fiction series.
Pogo has just been accepted to gymnastics camp. But her plans are hindered by her self-employed mother's and stay-at-home father's lack of funds. Typical pre-teen self-involvement is combined with jealousy of her baby stepsister and fear that Mom will lose her business. Though the secondary characters and the family situation are believable, Pogo won't generate much sympaythy among readers.
