I can hardly fathom that anyone who read the Best Little Girl in the World, could enjoy this book. The one-dimensional character of Katie is exactally like that of Kessa, and the plots are so similar that one would think that they are both the same story. I commend the author for attempting to bring a pressing problem for our youth under the spotlight, but with a character that hardly anyone can relate to (a thirteen-year-old champion ice skater and her over-bearing mother) it won't come as a surprise that the novel will not have the same effect as other books on the subject.
