More About I Got This: To Gold and Beyond
I read the e-book and found the memoir to be delightful to read. The content reads like a middle grade or younger YA book. It's a great sports book for readers as well as a clean memoir for teenagers. I enjoyed the inspirational aspect and the information about Ms. Hernandez's training, the camps, her wins, and her losses. Many readers... From the moment I saw Laurie Hernandez in last year's Olympics I immediately thought of Mary Lou Retton. Not only does Laurie have a bubbly personality, she also has a deep faith. This book is about how she became an Olympic gold medalist and all the challenges in between. Recommended for all Laurie fans, including the younger fans.... I am a gymnast. I can do it. I got this.
