Synopsis

Figure Skating Today: The Next Wave Of Stars

About this title

Review:

[Milton] reviews performances at the 2007 international competitions, providing more trivia about placements than even diehard enthusiasts might want.... Where the book shines, however, is in the exceptional photos by Gerard Chataigneau, which show the glamorous costumes in detail never available to those watching on television or in an arena. On their own, they are worth the price of the book.-- (01/12/2008) This non-fiction title is nothing less than stunning in its presentation. Full colour throughout, Chataigneau's photography is fabulous, giving us images rich in expression as well as movement. The format of the book is excellent... This title is a must-have for any library that has readers interested in winter sports and skating. Readers from fourth grade to adult will find it jam packed with statistics and the story behind them.-- (04/01/2008) Steve Milton shows you the best new figure skaters from around the world with stunning color photographs on each page, along with a brief biography. If you're a fan, you'll want to page through this book all season long to check on the backgrounds of these amazing athletes.-- (01/01/2008)
