Lizard is shocked when she wins a spot in the mall's fashion show and modeling competition. She couldn't care less about modeling, but the cash prize is her ticket to finally see the Cubs play. Her problem: stage fright. The story relies too often on telling rather than showing, but Lizard--simultaneously mature and confident, and beguilingly naïve--is a refreshingly genuine adolescent heroine.
