With an introduction from Simone Biles. In 2015, Maggie Nichols’s gymnastics career was on fire. Having trained most of her young life as an elite-level gymnast, Maggie carried the team all-around at the 2015 World Championships, helping to cinch the team gold medal. Next in her sights were the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. She was eagerly looking forward to training for them along with teammates such as Aly Raisman, Simone Biles, and Laurie Hernandez. But on the verge of achieving her lifelong Olympic dream, her world came crashing down. That summer Maggie revealed to her coach that USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar had been sexually abusing her and other athletes under his care. What followed was an extensive investigation that would capture the world’s attention and illuminate the trauma and massive cover-up behind the scenes of one of America’s most celebrated sports institutions. Ultimately, Maggie would go on to become an eight-time NCAA champion and an outspoken advocate for the protection of young children, especially young athletes. This inspirational memoir offers an intimate look into the world of elite gymnastics, the sexual abuse scandal that shattered lives and dreams, and how Maggie Nichols risked everything in the name of justice. Maggie now shares this story in her words: a story of hope, resilience, reclamation, and above all, triumph.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9781250860224","publication_date":"20240116","publisher":"Roaring Brook Press","slug":"unstoppable","subtitle":"My Journey From World Champion to Athlete a to 8-time NCAA National Gymnastics Champion and Beyond","title":"Unstoppable!"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"YAN053090","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Olympics & Paralympics","score":0.7988,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"YAN006130","confidence_band":"high","label":"Sports Lives","score":0.7826,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"JNF054060","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Gymnastics","score":0.7511,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"YAN053090","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Olympics & Paralympics","score":0.7988,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"YAN006130","confidence_band":"high","label":"Sports Lives","score":0.7826,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"JNF054060","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Gymnastics","score":0.7511,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"YAN006130","confidence_band":"high","label":"Sports Lives","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"YAN023000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Girls & Women","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"YAN051160","confidence_band":"high","label":"Abuse & Recovery for Teens","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Olympics & Paralympics","score":0.7988,"slug":"olympics-paralympics"},{"label":"Sports Lives","score":0.7826,"slug":"sports-lives"},{"label":"Gymnastics","score":0.7511,"slug":"gymnastics"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers interested in elite gymnastics and its abuse scandal","Readers seeking a memoir of resilience and advocacy"],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Lindsey Jacobellis"],"book_id":"9780063294479","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780063294479.jpg?v=ee4290aa3c1e39c3","score":0.733,"title":"Unforgiving","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780063294479"},{"authors":["Jordan Chiles"],"book_id":"9780063443402","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780063443402.jpg?v=648690812ca5ec28","score":0.7289,"title":"I'm That Girl","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780063443402"},{"authors":["Jessica Long"],"book_id":"9780358238379","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780358238379.jpg?v=fc8967e31e9b5b8a","score":0.7174,"title":"Unsinkable","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780358238379"},{"authors":["Alex Morgan"],"book_id":"9781481451086","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781481451086.jpg?v=ae7e52704687d3a9","score":0.711,"title":"Breakaway","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781481451086"},{"authors":["Aimee Boorman","Steve Cooper","Simone Biles"],"book_id":"9781419779770","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781419779770.jpg?v=5affe8b5077819ad","score":0.7057,"title":"The Balance","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781419779770"},{"authors":["Sarah Tomp"],"book_id":"9780062898296","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780062898296.jpg?v=edcc674de447fc54","score":0.6999,"title":"The Easy Part of Impossible","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780062898296"}],"topics":[{"evidence_refs":["keyword:inspirational"],"label":"Inspirational","score":0.0403,"slug":"inspirational"},{"evidence_refs":["keyword:memoir"],"label":"Memoir","score":0.0385,"slug":"memoir"},{"evidence_refs":["phrase_map_match"],"label":"Book Club","score":0.0215,"slug":"book-club"}],"what_you_get":["Themes: Sexual abuse in gymnastics, Resilience and reclamation, Justice and advocacy.","Themes: Inspirational, Memoir, Book Club.","Reading lane: Olympics & Paralympics and Sports Lives."]},"llm_signals":{"confidence":0.94,"pacing":"unknown","reader_fit":["Readers interested in elite gymnastics and its abuse scandal","Readers seeking a memoir of resilience and advocacy"],"themes":["Sexual abuse in gymnastics","Resilience and reclamation","Justice and advocacy"],"tropes":[]},"source_presence":{"amazon":true,"book_detail":true,"goodreads":true,"llm_signals":true,"similarity_seed":true},"stats":{"amazon_ratings_count":159,"goodreads_ratings_count":1506,"goodreads_reviews_count":223,"quality_score":0.9358}}
