Can rising gymnastics star Abby make her dreams a reality?

Welcome to the Royal Academy of Sport for Girls - the most prestigious sports school in the country!

Being accepted into the Royal Academy of Sport for Girls was all Abigail Rogers had ever wished for. But before her feet can touch the ground, the gymnasts are thrown into their first competition to determine who will make up the Academy team for State Prelims. The pressure is on! Training is harder than ever, and with rivalry growing among the students, Abby begins to doubt if she is, in fact, Academy material.

Will rising gymnastics star Abby be able to make her dreams a reality?

About the author

Laura Sieveking

Ever since she learnt to hold a pen, Laura Sieveking has loved creating stories. She remembers hiding in her room as a six-year-old, writing a series of books about an unlikely friendship between a princess and a bear.

As an adult, Laura has spent the vast majority of her career working in publishing as an editor. After several years, she decided to put down her red pen and open up her laptop to create books of her own.

Laura’s books revolve around all the things she loved as a child – friendships, sport and a little bit of magic. Her series include The Royal Academy of Sport for Girls and Amelia Chamelia.

Laura lives in Sydney with her husband and two children.

Praise for The Royal Academy of Sport for Girls 1: High Flyers

This is a new series that will appeal to independent readers who are sports-minded and who are looking for stories about girls who excel at what they do . . . Each book stands alone – it is the setting that is the common theme rather than the characters – but the whole series will be welcomed by those who enjoy reading about girls like themselves and putting themselves in the character’s shoes as they confront the choices that have to be made.

Barbara Braxton, The Bottom Shelf blog

High Flyers is the first in this competitive series for middle to upper grade readers with a penchant for sports. Debuting with the gymnastics scene, Laura Sieveking puts her own sporting background into this action-packed, intense experience. With themes including friendship, determination, and overcoming self-doubt, any pre-teen with the drive for success will be able to relate.
