Tara and Michelle: The Road to Gold

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.
