Lila Goes for Gold Buch | Girl of the Year™

My daughter reads a chapter of this before bed every night, and she loves following Lila's gymnastics journey in the story. The paperback is lightweight so it's easy for her to carry around in her backpack.

My daughter hasn't put this down since it arrived yesterday—she's already read it twice and is now acting out scenes with her doll. The story does a great job weaving in gymnastics details that feel authentic to a kid who loves the sport.

The cover art is bright and inviting, and the story itself moves at a great pace for young readers—my niece was hooked by the second chapter. It's the perfect length for a bedtime read, and it sparked a whole afternoon of doll-based gymnastics routines afterward.
