Balancing act / Paula Chase.
"When Chyna gets a scholarship to the newest, most prestigious sports school in the city, it's the best opportunity to do the gymnastics she loves. But between caring for her ailing mother and dealing with the elitist girls on her gymnastics team, she's not sure she belongs. Meanwhile, Jamaal is reeling from the death of his brother--who was also secretly Chyna's boyfriend. Becoming star of the Power Panthers basketball team is his way to honor his brother's memory and nothings going to stand in his way. Not even his health. Filled with gossip, high-stakes sports drama, and tons of heart, BALANCING ACT is the first in a riveting new series about teens fighting for their dreams in a city where picking a side is no game." -- Provided by publisher.
Chyna, a gymnast balancing her mother's illness and a competitive team, and Jamaal, a basketball player determined to honor his late brother, navigate the pressures of pursuing their dreams at a new, prestigious sports charter school.
