Illustrated by
Diana Cain Bluthenthal.
Strong-minded Molly is jealous of new girl Florence because she's the star of their town's new ice rink. As with all of Kline's elementary school dramas, this one ends happily with friendships repaired and lessons learned. Cartoon-style drawings lighten the text. Character development is slight, but the briskly paced story contains situations young readers will relate to.
