As someone who grew up regularly hearing names such as Scott Hamilton, Yuka Sato, and Gordeeva and Grinkov, I enjoyed this story...even if I wasn't exactly the target audience for it. It had a very Disney Channel vibe to it.

Was a very good book I will read more of these books as this one was so good. Hope I can find them all.

Excellent book for a mid teen. I thoroughly enjoyed this book as a Senior Citizen!

I was really in the mood for a figure skating book and that’s sorta what I got. Yes our main character is a figure skater with dreams of going to the Olympics, but her dad is really hell bent on her not skating and that’s never really explained, maybe it is later in the series. Overall, it was cute and fun to see her new friendships after moving to a new town, but probably not a book I’d be recommending to most people. Do with this information what you will. It was just okay.

An ice-skating school-girl story. There is reasonable continuity in the need to live again after her mother's death. The Christian influence is subtle and appropriate, not tacked on. Characterization is a little weak. One woman was so gushy nice that I expected it to be a set up for disillusionment.

I really enjoyed this story, and I felt for the little girl who lost her mom and her dad was so distant and lost in his grief. I am looking forward to the other 7 books in the series. It's interesting to read about someone on the Olympic track.

I love Beverly Lewis and her adult fiction. I was excited to read some of her youth fiction. I couldn't put it down I was happy I had a sick/ day off to read I was able to go and not lose the momentum that the book seemed to have in the plot. I'm excited to start the second book!!!

This series of books is best if read in order as the girls become friends throughout the first four books. I liked the book as it addresses relationships with friends and family.

I read this book around 4th grade because I took figure skating lessons. It was really cute and introduced me to Beverly Lewis. This is a great book for young girls!
