Jocelyn and Nathaniel Hobbie are the daughter and son of our bestselling author/artist, Holly Hobbie. Jocelyn holds a B.F.A. from RISD and works for a contemporary art dealer in New York, NY. Nathaniel Hobbie is also a fine artist who works with metal and wood. They have published two previous books in the Priscilla series with Little, Brown: Priscilla and the Pink Planet (10/04) and Priscilla and the Splish-Splash Surprise (2/06).
PreSchool-Grade 2–In her third adventure, the irrepressible Priscilla wants to try something new and exciting, but just can't find the right activity. Her friend Bettina provides the answer when she invites her to the opening night for Princess Rollerina, who is elegance, grace, power, and speed. The next morning, Priscilla registers at L'École Rolleret. She practices at every chance she gets and tries her hardest to be precise and controlled, but she wipes out at the audition for the leading role in the school's play and is terribly disappointed when her teacher asks her to be the Wind. In the end, though, she shows off her true talent–freestyle skating–and is perfectly happy soaring across the stage. The bouncy rhymes move along quickly despite some rough spots. Priscilla's enthusiasm for life and her zest for becoming a star are conveyed through both the text and the candy-colored cartoons.
