Simone Biles was born in Columbus, Ohio, in 1997. She was placed into foster care when her mother was unable to care for her. Her grandparents raised her from 2000 onwards. She has been very vocal about the importance of good foster families, families stepping up to help out other family members, and the adoption process in the media. She began gymnastics when she was six years old. She began her elite gymnastics career at age fourteen. She made it to the 2016 Summer Olympics, held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. She won four gold medals at this Olympics. After that, she wrote this book. She has done a lot of other things since, but I don't want to talk about a bunch of stuff that isn't in this book. I will say, however, that her speaking out against sexual abuse in the gymnastics community is the best and bravest thing she has done in her life. (In my opinion.)

This was a good book. I like figure skating and equestrian sports, but my sister is a super gymnastics fan. I watched it with her, which is how I really became aware of Simone. She is a very likeable person, at least from what I have seen in the media. She also has a great position to advocate for foster and adoption awareness and sexual abuse. She is a positive role model for everyone, not just girls. If you are into gymnastics and olympic sports, check this book out.
