Tim Green, New York Times Bestselling Author & former NFL Defensive End

“A great novel, with twists and turns that take the reader on a ride with Casey after he finds himself at the wrong place at the wrong time. Once you start reading, it is hard to put down, with all the excitement that surrounds Casey’s quest to stop killers from ruining the Olympics. A book that will have you on the edge of your seat the whole time.” Tim Parker (age 13)

“Gold Medal Threat, was very interesting and hard to put down. It is a perfect book for teens and preteens. It is written exactly how a teenager would think, act, and speak. It’s amazing how in this book teens are treated as adults with respect. The story was very suspenseful and
mysterious. The crime was a great choice for the setting. I would definitely recommend this book to a friend. It was, without a doubt, one of the best books I have ever read.” Breanna Gardner (age 12)

“This book is very thrilling and filled with suspense, mystery, and action. A great novel for kid mystery fans. Humor is twisted inside every chapter. The author takes you on a journey with many twists and turns. The main characters are likable, smart, funny, and resourceful. I loved
every chapter.” Jacob Tabs (age 11)

“Gold Medal Threat is one of those books that puts a big smile on your face and makes your day better. I truly recommend it to everyone, at every age. I bet my grandma would love it too, because you can’t dislike a book like this. It’s so much fun! I loved it!” Bianca M. Calin (age 14)

“Gold Medal Threat is really good. I liked it a lot. I especially liked that the Olympic Games were involved in the story. The story was very thrilling and suspenseful. I would recommend the book to my friends.”
Charlie Weale (age 9)

“Gold Medal Threat is a fun and exciting read—kids will love it!”
Samantha Westmoreland

“Gold Medal Threat by Michael Balkind is action packed, wholesome family fun. This is a story that will capture the sense of adventure in young men but which will not end up being read exclusively by young adults as I am sure mom, dad, and big sis would take more than only a
peek. Casey, the hero of Gold Medal Threat is growing up and saving the world one gymnast at a time.” Wanda Hartzenberg, founder of Wanda’s Amazing Amazon Reviewers

“After reading my niece’s review of Gold Medal Threat, I took the time to read it. It is a truly wonderful book that people of any age can read and enjoy.” Earl Miller
