Sarah's In-line Skating Olympics
Available from Barnes & Noble and Amazon as well as the Author.  12/6/2011

Sarah's In-line Skating OlympicsI wonder if anybody ever thought of having in-line skating in the Olympics? If there was, I'd work to be the very best. I'd be the one to stand up on that center box and have a gold medal hung around my neck while they played 'The Star-Spangled Banner.' And Allison would get the silver medal at the same time.

An idea popped into my head, why not have my own Olympics?

Sarah is already excited for summer, but when she gets the idea to host the first ever In-Line Staking Olympics, she knows it will be just as great as she imagined it. She and her best friend, Allison, work hard to prepare fliers, find prizes and judges, design the competition course, and set up the event itself. Just when it looks like everything will go according to plan, a tough older kid named Mike shows up. Will he ruin everything? Or will it turn out that appearances are sometimes deceiving?
