She asked her mom to buy more books so she could expand her balloon twisting skills, but the books were made for adults, difficult to follow, and frustrating.So she and her younger sister decided to make their own book, spending an entire summer making balloons and perfecting the explanations so that other kids could follow easily.In 2011 she is still attending magic camp, has mastered juggling, invents her own rope tricks, and is working toward becoming a counselor.view less
