This is the story of Tokyo Olympics gold-medal-winner, Tom Daley, and his journey to greatness.
Tom Daley is British diver specialising in the 10-metre platform event and has been competing internationally since he was twelve years old. Born and raised in Plymouth, Tom was spotted by a coach during one of his diving lessons and since then has been a force to be reckoned with in the sport. This is the story of how a young boy went from lessons at his local pool to a star on the international stage, winning two gold medals in the 2010 Commonwealth Games as well as bronze in the 2012 and 2016 Olympics.
Melanie Hamm is a writer and editor of fiction, non-fiction and picture books for children. Originally from Ipswich, she now lives in south London, where she loves to spend time in her local park, dreaming of having a dog to throw sticks to. She is passionate about art, theatre and environmental issues, as well as children's literacy.
