Lotti and the Impossible Dream

***** Mom's Choice Awards Gold Winner, Honoring Excellence ***** Book Excellence Award Winner ***** Readers' Choice Book Awards Finalist Based on a true story! A powerful tale about never giving up. "Smart, honest, funny, and very brave." -Princess Tatiana Galitzine, UNICEF Board Member "...will have readers of all ages laughing, crying, and cheering all at once... Insightful, thought-provoking, compassionate, inspiring, brilliant, funny, and brave, this is a great gift for readers of all ages, but especially the young and the young at heart." --Readers' Favorite, 5 stars ***** My name is Lotti. In honor of avoiding spoilers, I'm not going to tell you my secret. Well, at least not yet. But what I will tell you is that I started practicing rhythmic gymnastics, a sport that requires a snakelike level of flexibility. Sounds awesome, right? If only I didn't have this secret. . . . Seriously, as if middle school wasn't trouble enough already. Confronted with ridicule, obstacles, and setbacks, I learned there are just two options at each crossroad: surrender or keep on fighting. And it is up to us to decide which path we take. Based on true events: a powerful story about perseverance, resilience, and determination. ****** "A sweet, heart-warming and humorous novel, which will inspire young readers to follow their dreams." -Readers' Choice Book Awards, Finalist & 5 Stars *****
