Customer Reviews

Inspiring

I bought this book for my 11 yr old niece because she loves gymnastics. The book seemed a bit under her age group (at least by the font size) but she really enjoyed reading about a successful gymnast.

Kerri Strug - Heart of Gold

I thought that Heart of Gold was a good biography based book for school aged kids. It was an easy read for the elementary early middle school kids and it had a good positive message throughout. Kerri talked about her struggles with not only gymnastics but being away from family, jealosy between teammates, and self doubt and insecurities that everyone has at some time in their lives. She teaches through her book that if you stay true to yourself, you will always win out in the end. I recommend this book to any gymnast who loves the sport of gymnastics.

Her Autobiography for a Younger Audience

This was a great biography of Kerri Strug, though it was meant for a younger audience and reading level, it was still very appealing. It included many great pictures, and her biography. I think all Kerri Strug fans will enjoy the book, nevertheless how old they are. Great book, awesome pictures!

INSPIRATIONAL

This was a very enjoyable book even if you are not a gymnastics fan. It tells how she rose to the top and about her injuries along the way. I think everyone should read this book!

I HOPE KERRI HAS A NEW BOOK SOON
