i love ice skating stories

claire glass has a dream to be an olympic figure skater. afteryears of practice, she tries out to get a spot at the lake placidfigure skating school. but she has her doubts. if she is notexcepted, should she quit, try harder or stay with her oldcoach and see if she can still rise to the top. the author hasa very good handle on the life styles of the top comeitive figure skaters and i definielty recommend it to all ice skaterslike me who will never even get close to that type of dream.

Utterly Perfect

This book (the entire 6 book series of Silver Skates from the late 1980's in fact) is worth hunting down. I first read it when I was ten. Now at twenty-two years of age I still enjoy this series about the ups and downs of serious competitive figure skating. If you enjoy Melissa Lowell's Silver Blades series, this is a step up. Here the writing is more mature, and the skaters are at a more advanced level. This is the best skating fiction has to offer.

Great!

This book is about a serious skating student, Claire Glass, who is desperate to make it as a professional and Olympic Skater. She tries out for the prestigious school of an Olympian, Gregory Mastrony. At first, Claire doesnt make the cut. Then, it turned out that she has a place in the school after all. Claire's ecstatic.....until she realizes what a tyrant Mastroni is and how grueling the schedule he gives her.....until her grades start to slip......until she realizes how short the time she has left for her new boyfriend, Steven Hover. How much does Claire want the life in Gregory Mastroni's school?
