Cheers For Betsy!
Seventeen-year old Betsy Bolick, varsity cheerleader,
should not be able to do what she does every Friday night,
but someone forgot to tell her. In fact, her parents were
told that it was unlikely she would ever walk, and that
she should not have survived infancy.

Ursula Wood loves to write. “It’s what
I do. I like other things too, of course, like music and
computers, but words are my specialty. Being published doesn’t
change that; it doesn’t make a writer better, just
lucky.”
