BSC Book Club Book Discussion #55 Jessi's Gold Medal

Author: Peter Lerganis

Release Date: June 1992

Back Cover Summary: Jessi is honored — and surprised — when she's asked to participate in a synchronized swimming competition. Sure Jessi knows ballet. But water ballet is a different story. All that swimming is hard work!

Jessi and her partner practice their routines over and over again. Everyone — especially the Baby-sitters — is expecting them to win the gold. But Jessi's not so sure....

Can she do it?

Is there anything you remember from this book? Any thoughts?

I always thought the bet between Alan and Kristy was funny. The kids mini olympics was fun, even the unathletic Charlotte and Mary Anne got involved with that. Too bad Mallory purposely twisted her ankle to participate. I love that Stacey and Claudia both participated in the school olympics - I wish we saw Stacey maybe join the swim team later. Claudia's run sounds funny too.
