Editorial Review:
Just in time for the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan, here is a double
biography of the two young women at the center of the hottest rivalry to shake
the ice-skating world since Nancy Kerrigan and Tonya Harding. It all began last
year when 14-year-old Tara Lipinski unseated then-champion Michelle Kwan, first
at the U.S. Championships and then, a month later, at the World Championships.
With eight pages of full-color photographs, this timely, behind-the-scenes book
highlights both girls' hard work, fierce dedication, and good sportsmanship as
it sets the scene for the battle for the gold medal in Nagano--and in the
hearts and minds of readers around the world.
Tara and Michelle: The Road to Gold Reviews:
I'm an ice skater and I am really inspired by the book. 
1998-04-13 - I ice skate too. I have been ice skating since I was 8 or 9 years old, and believe me I know what it feels like to be at the rink 4 days a week!! This book has really inspired me to keep up my goals for ice skating.
Great book! About 2 of the best skaters ever!
1998-03-17 - I am a normal 12 year old girl,so I think that this is a great book that shows what the the life of a young famous skater is really like.
Shows rewards when one overcomes challenges.
1997-12-24 - If you ever think about giving up before you achieve your goal, then you should read this because this book shows value of keeping at it, despite many hardships and difficulties one encounters. Both of these young girls can be real inspirations for others, and not necessarily girls. Do read this book!
AWESOME
1997-10-18 - The book was very good. I am a girl the age of 12, and I have a normal life. This book showed me what the life of a skater is like. Different! Every girl my age should read this book beofre the winter olympics to see what Tara and Michelle went through. Write a review telling me what you think!
