The balance beam looked smaller than usual. Harriet stared at it now — a slim strip of polished wood suspended on two sturdy legs, perfectly still, perfectly straight, perfectly… terrifying. Her toes curled inside her pale pink socks as she waited for her turn. She could hear the faint squeak of sneakers, the rhythmic thud of practice mats, and the ever-present scent of chalk dust that hung in the air like magic. Around her, the rest of the group were stretching and whispering, but Harriet’s focus was locked on that narrow beam, like it was staring right back at her. Pops’ voice floated through her memory: “Keep your centre steady, Hattie-girl. Your feet follow your heart.” In the second instalment of the Harriet Bloom series, Harriet makes it count exactly when it's needed. Taking other children under her wing, getting them through sticky situations - if you want encouragement Harriet's your girl!
Harriet Bloom is used to landing on her feet. But this term, everything feels a little… off balance. When a brand-new challenge turns Harriet’s carefully practiced routines upside down, she finds herself pulled into unfamiliar territory — where spins come too fast, friendships are tested, and not everyone is ready to play as a team. As pressure builds and secrets wobble into the open, Harriet must decide whether to cling tightly to what she knows… or trust that sometimes, letting go is the bravest move of all. With the help of loyal friends, a very wise dog named Bertie, and her own quiet courage, Harriet discovers that being in a spin doesn’t mean losing control — it might just be the start of something wonderful.
