Summary: Shows the ups and downs of the sport
Review: I have an 8-year-old "future Olympian" (just ask her) and this series has given her a broader look at what a committment serious skating takes. Although a bit superficial, the plots are realistic to younger children and cover some great topics (i.e. anorexia, time committment, losing touch with school friends, etc.) We are only a few books into the series, but it is really opening her eyes as to what it will take to "make it."

Summary: Breaking the Ice-it really lived up to its title!
Review: When I first took it out from the library, I thought that it would be a stupid story. Boy, was I ever wrong! It's really, really good. Nikki is a wonderful character, and so are Tori, Jill, and Danielle. As Nikki tries to juggle being popular at her new school, four hours of skating a day, mastering a double flip and making new friends, readers will laugh and sympathize with her ups and downs. A great beginning to a great series. And it really focuses on skating, and is very clear with the skating lingo. This book persuaded me to take up figure skating!
