KLIATT - Sherri Forgash Ginsberg
America's new skating sensation, Hughes is depicted in this unauthorized biography as a very determined young woman. She took to the ice when she was just three. She couldn't even wait for her mother to lace up her skates and did it herself. Her perseverance paid off when she won the Gold Medal at the recent 2002 Winter Olympics. The petite 16-year-old is the daughter of an ice hockey player who grew up in Canada. He loved hockey and skating so much that he built a tiny rink in the backyard. After winning several competitions Hughes now joins a list of illustrious women skaters. The book numerates all her skating events and includes eight pages of color photos. It's a definite purchase for libraries; very up-to-date information and an inspiration to all. KLIATT Codes: JﾽRecommended for junior high school students. 2001, Berkley, 140p. illus.,
