A Zamboni enters a skating rink, leaving a smooth swathe of ice behind it. Lolly watches from the boards.
Full jacket of Lolly on the Ice - on the front, Lolly skates happily in front of a full moon, followed by her dog. On the back, she is alone on an ice rink, looking terrified.
I love the @100scopenotes.bsky.social UNDIES case cover awards! By the way, here's the case cover for LOLLY ON THE ICE. It's one of my favorite things about the book. :) 100scopenotes.com/2025/11/24/a...
