I've been reading a few Figure Skating Books recently that reminded me of the Ice Princess Movie (which I Loved). And you can watch it these days on Disney+
It's basically the story of a girl who loves skating in the back yard and decides to try to take lessons. She realizes that she can use science to achieve her goals. Can she become a champion?
The Book List:
