The Perfect Gymnast
Michele Martin Bossley
- Reading
- You could read alongside your child and pause at Abby’s decision, inviting them to weigh what she wants against what she fears without assuming there is an easy answer.
- Themes
- A difficult friendship decision: Abby learns that Hilary has an eating disorder she is trying to keep secret, and Abby weighs whether to act. The dilemma is presented as a conflict between wanting to help and fearing betrayal, rather than as an obvious choice.
- Worth knowing
- An eating disorder is a central concern: Hilary tries to keep it secret, and Abby is unsure what to do. This may invite a conversation about seeking help and trust.
