Her first gymnastics meet followed by her teammate’s birthday party. Except Savannah can’t seem to stay on beam in practice and she doesn’t feel ready for the meet. Then she finds out she has been invited to another birthday party the same day as Marissa’s. All of a sudden the big day she has been looking forward to for weeks is full of problems. How is she going to perform in the meet and which party should she choose? The Perfect Balance Gymnastics Series is a children's chapter book series. The series teaches girls to be kind to each other, flexible in life, courageous, strong, and most of all, confident. The books set the reader in the world of gymnastics. The characters are relatable and have age appropriate challenges. Each book explores a major life lesson that empowers girls to understand their own inner strengths. Review: Relatable for young gymnasts - My gymnast daughter really enjoyed this book and looking forward to reading the next one. Review: A good follow-up to book one in this series - The second installment of the Perfect Balance Gymnastics series features Savannah, the youngest member of the Level 3 team, who is in second grade. Savannah and her teammates are about to attend their very first competition meet, and I thought the depiction of nervousness at a new experience was spot on. As the shortest member of her team, Savannah has to lead them every time they march to a new apparatus. I can remember being mortified as a kid when a teacher spontaneously asked me to lead something I wasn't prepared to do. What if I did it wrong? And Savannah is feeling these nerves on top of having performance jitters, especially on her beam routine. As this is her first real meet, it made sense that she had a lot of questions and wasn't sure exactly how things worked. And the parent pressure was spot on as well, expecting things even from someone so young at her first meet. Savannah also has deal with some friend drama at school when her closest friend starts hanging with the popular mean girl, who is jealous of Savannah and purposely excludes her. All of this felt age-appropriate as well. The concept of having more than one friend hasn't been discovered yet for many second graders. But they are learning who true friends really are, and in this case, that would be Savannah's gym friends. My biggest complaint about this story would be that Savannah is referred to, even by her peers and maybe even herself, as being little and cute multiple times. Kids generally don't describe themselves or their same-age peers that way. They see themselves as stronger and more powerful than adults see them. But otherwise, I thought this was a decent representation of the life of a second grade gymnast. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #51,305 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #6 in Gymnastics (Books) #9 in Children's Gymnastics Books (Books) #218 in Children's Intermediate Readers | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 408 Reviews | ## Images ![Nothing Better Than Gym Friends (Perfect Balance Gymnastics Series Book 2) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/716Ugi+jwYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Relatable for young gymnasts *by T***L on May 20, 2026* My gymnast daughter really enjoyed this book and looking forward to reading the next one. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good follow-up to book one in this series *by M***N on July 22, 2024* The second installment of the Perfect Balance Gymnastics series features Savannah, the youngest member of the Level 3 team, who is in second grade.

She is in gymnastics & loves these books! She started reading it immediately & read into the night,, something I remember doing when a youngster. I'm so glad it's a series, because now I know for sure it's something she likes that we can keep giving her-always wondered about other things we've been giving her, as we only see her one month a year, --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/38590280-nothing-better-than-gym-friends-perfect-balance-gymnastics-series-book](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/38590280-nothing-better-than-gym-friends-perfect-balance-gymnastics-series-book) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-29*
