I would consider taking out 'conquer her fears' and just say, 'she must find a way to tackle the biggest hill in town.'

I think your pitch ...It's a yes from me Carrie. I think your pitch works, but I like Lauri's comment about upping the stakes. Then again maybe you feel a more relaxed pitch suits the story better. If you want to increase the intensity here's a sample...<br />"Scooter Annie loves swooping <br />down her driveway and gliding along the sidewalk. She doesn't even hesitate at the top of Big Hill. But a bump in the road turns Annie's world upside down. Now if Annie wants to <br />ride in the neighborhood parade, she must conquer her <br />fear of falling while falling in love with scooter-ing all over again."<br />Okay, I went over the top with this one.
