My Thoughts:
If you've seen the Cutting Edge, this is the book for you.
It has the same ideas - the banter and the learning to figure skate.
It also has a great friendship and great family. I loved Charlie's father and brother. I felt bad for her about her mom.
The jock bullies made me angry.
I didn't want this book to end. It was amazing.
