Book Description
Vera-Ellen, superb dancing star, is often overlooked, but she was an important Hollywood star in the late 1940s and '50s. She partnered Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly, Danny Kaye and Donald O'Conner. She starred in On the Town, Three Little Words, The Belle of New York, Three Little Girls in Blue and the beloved Holiday classic, White Christmas. Her talent was more than remarkable. She excelled at tap, ballet, jazz and acrobatic dancing. Vera-Ellen started her screen career when she was a teen, but movie musicals were on the wane. Nevertheless, her dance numbers were spectacular. She was always beautifully costumed. She was overlooked as a subject for paper doll fame. Until now, that is. Artist and Hollywood historian David Wolfe has created a new paper doll book in the style of Hollywood's Golden Age featuring three Vera-Ellen dolls and scores of fabulous costumes from her films.

Book Description
For every athlete or sports fanatic who knows she's just as good as the guys. This is for fans of The Running Dream by Wendelin Van Draanen, Grace, Gold, and Glory by Gabrielle Douglass and Breakaway: Beyond the Goal by Alex Morgan. The summer before Caleb and Tessa enter high school, friendship has blossomed into a relationship . . . and their playful sports days are coming to an end. Caleb is getting ready to try out for the football team, and Tessa is training for cross-country. But all their structured plans derail in the final flag game when they lose. Tessa doesn’t want to end her career as a loser. She really enjoys playing, and if she’s being honest, she likes it even more than running cross-country. So what if she decided to play football instead? What would happen between her and Caleb? Or between her two best friends, who are counting on her to try out for cross-country with them? And will her parents be upset that she’s decided to take her hobby to the next level? This summer Caleb and Tessa figure out just what it means to be a boyfriend, girlfriend, teammate, best friend, and someone worth cheering for. “A great next choice for readers who have enjoyed Catherine Gilbert Murdock’s Dairy Queen and Miranda Kenneally’s Catching Jordan.”—SLJ “Fast-paced football action, realistic family drama, and sweet romance…[will have] readers looking for girl-powered sports stories…find[ing] plenty to like.”—Booklist “Tessa's ferocious competitiveness is appealing.”—Kirkus Reviews “[The Football Girl] serve[s] to illuminate the appropriately complicated emotions both of a young romance and of pursuing a dream.
