I have always been ridiculously jealous of girls who could do gymnastics. As someone with the grace of a plane crash, I could never really understand how they could perform those amazing flips and twists. For that reason, I was pretty excited to watch Make it Or Break It, an ABC Family series.



The good thing about this show is that it's not totally about gymnastics. The series has a good, solid storyline, good acting, and lots of drama. The story lines center around Emily, a girl who receives an opportunity to attend a top gymnastic school ("The Rock"). Typical "new girl" angst ensues; the other girls aren't friendly, she's the daughter of a single mom and her brother is disabled. I enjoy stories about underdogs and Emily fits the bill. She's the type of character I enjoyed when I was a kid and I want my own kids to relate to.

This is a family series and a great show to inspire kids to keep trying, even when life isn't easy. And the gymnastics are really cool to watch.
