Balancing Act (The Heights #1)

21 October, 2025

The cover for the book balancing act. A young black woman with afro puffs and a glittery top (maybe a leotard) is featured with a large bird with outspread wings above her. There are two gymnasts on one leg on either end of a balance beam below her. The images together end up looking like an emblem or seal design for a school uniform.

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.
