"If you've never had a best friend, Lola Levine will undoubtedly become your first. Her appeal is boundless."โRita Williams-Garcia, Coretta Scott King Author Award winner for One Crazy Summer Lola is convinced that soccer reigns supreme, but she is challenged by a new ballet-dancing classmate in this funny, kid-favorite chapter book series. When new classmate Bella, a ballet dancer, walks into Lola's class at Northland Elementary, all Lola can see is pink everywhere--pink ribbons, a pink sweatshirt, and pink tennis shoes. Yuck! Pink is Lola's least favorite color. Plus, ballet isn't nearly as hard as soccer, is it? Lola and Bella can't seem to stop squabbling. But when a mishap during class lands them in Principal Blot's office, Lola's mom comes up with a scheme--a ballet scheme--that just might make these classroom rivals realize that ballet dancers and soccer players have more in common than they ever thought possible. But is it too late for Lola to make a new friend? In the third book in this series, young readers will be inspired by Lola's big heart and creative spirit as she learns to navigate the second grade in true Lola style! Perfect for!
