As she glides across the frozen pond, Babymouse daydreams about being a medal-winning figure skater. She can almost hear the roar of the crowd, the fans cheering her name, the sportscasters' excitement. But when she's actually noticed by a professional coach and told she has talent, Babymouse develops a lust for glory...which is greatly tested by the harsh reality of before- and after-school practices, a ban on cupcakes, and no free time for friends. She's committed to training with Coach Bearnakova, but exactly how much is she willing to sacrifice for the gold? In her seventh graphic novel, Babymouse leaps back into readers' hearts with her signature pink-tinted fantasies, smart-alecky narrator commentary ("Uh, Babymouse? You've never exactly been one for hard work"), and a compulsory program of humiliations ("typical") and mock-epic battles with her possessed locker. You'd think the Holm siblings would have trouble keeping their own performance fresh, but for artistic expression, technical difficulty, and presentation they remain an eminently competitive pair.(Copyright 2007 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston.
