The biography of Nadia Comaneci is all about her life growing up as a young girl who couldn't sit still, through her first trip to the Olympics. The book starts off with Nadia as a young girl, and how she could never sit still and climed and moved all over the place. Nadia lived in Romania, and she was discovered by gymnastics coaches when she was at school in the play yard. Even though Nadia had be trained by her coaches, she still performed poorly at her first competition, 13th place. Nadia continued to train, and the year she first went to the Olympics, she received a perfect score of 10.0. A perfect score had never been achieved, and Nadia was the first to do it at such a young age. When Nadia grew up, she ended up marrying another gymnast, Bart Conner. Together, they opened up their own gymnastics academy in Norman, Oklahoma. The structure and order of the book was written very well, as it showed the progress of movement in Nadia's life. Gymnasts don't compete for very long, so it made since that the book only went through Nadia's first Olympics competition. ( )
