Levantado pesas: un cuento en el pasado - Paperback

by Sherlyn Saavedra Ortega (Illustrator), Jennifer Degenhardt (Author)

Same sweet story as Pesas, now in the past tense.

Sofía had been training hard for a long time for an important competition that was coming up in a few months: the Special Olympics. Sofía, a weightlifter who spent three days a week (her favorite days!) in the gym, was training to compete in the events of squats, bench presses and deadlifts. She liked it because she was good at it, but even more so, she loved going to the gym to spend time with all of her friends there.

Yet one day, the easy lifting vibe in the gym was upset with the arrival of a new girl, Bleu. Bleu was definitely strong, which was great for fending off the bullies she had to deal with. But along with her brightly colored hair, she was also sporting an enormous attitude - one that got in her way of her moving forward on so many levels, and one that was going to be a potential problem for the folks at the gym.

Would the weight of the new dynamic at the gym affect Sofía's progress?
Would Bleu be able to lift herself out of her troubles?
