SophieJ: That’s a nice comment, Sophie. This book would be a good one for young kids. They could learn from Harriet and Lalla! (The good things though)

This is one of my favourite books. I suppose Ice Princess may be based on this book, but the book has a richer plot, more vibrant characters and the ending is a wonderful surprise rather than being all too obvious. I’d recommend it to anyone, whether they like skating or not. I think its about working hard and finding out who you are and, more importantly, who you want to be.

I’ve heard of ‘Ice Princess’ but never watched it yet. Oh, it’s similar? Should be a nice movie with lots of incredible skating movements!

Yup, kids’ books nowadays are extremely eye-catching, with lots of colour and stuff.

The story sounds a bit like the movie Ice Princess, where the come-from-nowhere underdog does better than the one everyone expects to be a star. My kids would probably enjoy this as they like anything to do with skating. I think they’d like the cover, actually, but in a world where kids books are frequently sparkle and glitz, it might get overlooked.

Okay…good luck reading the book! =)

Not exactly convinced on the story. Seems a little lackluster but I’ll go and check out a few pages first! Thanks for the review!
