Riley's Giant Leap

**Riley Davis loves gymnastics—but one skill is standing between her and the confidence she thought she had.** When Riley tells her classmates that she is a competitive gymnast, Tyler and Amanda begin teasing her. Their jokes follow her from school into the gym, where Riley is already struggling with one of the hardest skills she has ever attempted: a giant on the uneven bars. Even with the support of her parents, her coach, and her kind and encouraging best friend, Addisyn, Riley begins to wonder if she is really as good as everyone says. As competition season approaches, Riley must learn that courage is not about never being afraid. It is about trusting yourself enough to keep trying—even after a bad practice, a fall, or a moment of doubt. **Riley’s Giant Leap** is an uplifting middle-grade and young teen gymnastics story about friendship, confidence, perseverance, overcoming teasing, and discovering that one difficult skill does not define who you are. Perfect for young gymnasts, sports-loving readers, and girls learning to believe in themselves, this inspiring story reminds readers that sometimes the biggest victory is not the medal you win—it is the moment you finally believe you can do hard things.
