Overview

Everybody’s a star, a brilliant creation.
The trouble is finding the right constellation!

Ellie McSnelly and Carrie O’Toole, the winning pair of friends from The Brand New Kid, are back in a new adventure. Ellie and Carrie decide to try out for the school team in their favorite sport, soccer. But when only one of the girls is selected, the inseparable pair faces a challenge(what do you say when your best friend is terribly disappointed?

But while some disappointments can’t be avoided, Carrie learns (with some help from her mother and her old friend Lazlo) that while she may not be good at everything, she has undiscovered talents waiting to bloom, if she has the courage to try something new.

For every reader who has ever set his or her heart on joining a sports team, getting a part in the school play, or winning a class election, and been let down, Katie Couric’s reassuring and inspiring story gives a charming lesson in confidence.

When Carrie is disappointed not to make the school soccer team, she turns her attention to creating a science fair project.

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
In Katie Couric's The Brand New Kid, Ellie McSnelly and Carrie O'Toole coped with the rigors of their first day in second grade. In The Blue Ribbon Day, this almost inseparable pair is back to confront a friendship trauma that every kid can understand: Both Ellie and Carrie try out for the soccer team, but only one of them makes the grade. Can their friendship survive this bump in the road?
Publishers Weekly
The creators of The Brand New Kid bring back best friends Ellie McSnelly and Carrie O'Toole in this reassuring if clich -riddled tale about dealing with disappointment and discovering one's special talent. After the pals spy a sign announcing tryouts for the school soccer team, "Carrie said, `Great! Hey, let's give it a whirl!/ I'd love to be known as a cool soccer girl!' " In rhymed couplets that range from amusing to corny, the narrative describes the tryouts and the sobering results for Ellie, who fails to make the team. Her mother consoles her, yet delivers a muddled message ("Her mom said, `Don't worry, I know you are sad,/ but you couldn't feel good if you never felt bad' "). Luckily, Ellie excels in academia, teaming up with her lab partner (the no-longer brand-new kid, Lazlo) to enter a project in the science fair. Readers will be pleased though hardly surprised that both girls earn their equivalent of a blue ribbon. Priceman's signature bright hues and whimsical flourishes inject some spirit into the spot and full-bleed illustrations, but the plot does not offer her an opportunity to exhibit her usual range here. Ages 3-8. (Oct.) Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.

    It can only get so bad

    When a child is rejected for something he or she really wants, they feel terrible. But, they must be reassured that success is just around the corner - always!

    Loved it!

    I watched Katie on Today this morning reading to youngsters as Al showed the illustrations. I was enthralled! I actually had tears in my eyes because as a parent, I have lived this book with my children!
