The child's opportunity to remedy the situation with a trip to the store for more sugar does not end well either; the taunts from the reigning queen prove irresistible. Warning: this itch is contagious!—Wendy Lukehart, District of Columbia Public Library . The still hopeful bundle of energy polishes until she can see "clear to New Jersey" through the sparkling windows, but her inability to sustain focus results in a ruined cake.

Luckily the revered party guest has the hoopin' itch too—as does her childhood competitor, so there are dueling pairs as the party spills out into the street. From School Library Journal K-Gr 3—Kameeka's goal is clear from the opening paragraph: she plans to beat the neighborhood competition and become the Hula-Hoopin' Queen of 139th Street&mdash
