Dance Fever

(4) 4-6 Victoria Torres, Unfortunately Average series. The latest installments find "unfortunately average" sixth grader Vicka joining the softball team, despite a lack of talent (Curveball), and helping organize a Wild West–themed school dance, adding an element of prospective romance to the story arc (Dance). The series is run-of-the-mill, but, as ever, Vicka makes up in creativity and warmth what she perceives she lacks in brilliance or distinction. Activities appended. Glos. Review covers these Victoria Torres, Unfortunately Average titles: Curveball and Dance Fever.
