Nadia Comenacia Letters To a Young Gymnast

Nadia Comenacia Letters To a Young Gymnast

         Do you like gymnastics? If so, I recommend you read Nadia Comenacia Letters to a Young Gymnast by Nadia Comenacia.This book is an autobiography about a young girl who stole the hearts of everyone at the 1976 Olympics.


         To begin, this book is mostly about Nadia Comenacia life and here are some hints about the book. First, she was the first Olympic Gymnast to score a perfect 10.00 on all of the events .Second, it talks about her whole life NOT only the 1976 Olympics. Lastly, it was based on a letter that was written to her. Someone wrote her a letter telling her to explain her life and so the book is based on that letter.In conclusion, there are some hints about the book.

          I think that this book is also amazing in so many ways and here are a few. First, it is very adventurous .I think the book gets the most adventurous at the end but throughout the book she takes some big risks like when she tries to defect.  Second, my favorite part of the book is when she almost doesn't make it to a meet and they win! In the middle her and her coach [Belia Coroly] just barely make it to a performance and that part is like your going to die if you stop reading. Lastly the book pulls you in and doesn't let go. When I started reading this book I could not stop and it is 180 pages and I finished it in 3 days. Obviously,  this is a book you can’t miss.

           In conclusion, that is why I recommend  this book for anyone 11 and up because there are some scary parts in it. I absolutely think you should read this book and if you don’t you don’t know what you are missing.
