I really enjoyed this book. I might say I more than enjoyed it. It’s one of the best chick-lits I’ve read, and it’s just one of those books that you can curl up on the couch with in your slippers and dressing gown with a cup of tea, and really get into. It’s so good to see authors coming up with believable plots and characters in relation to real events like the Winter Olympics. I’ve also read the first book in the series and I’m waiting to get the other two in our school library. So if you are looking for a nice girly-style book I would suggest that this should be the one you pick up! * Teen Titles *
This is the fourth and final book in the brilliant Skate School series, perfect for ice skating fans aged about 9 or 10 and up. You don't have to know anything about ice skating to enjoy it, though - the joy and tension of the sport comes across clearly on the page, and the book is also crammed with friendship drama, a sneaky mystery and a very sweet, gentle romance. All the characters are fantastic, including the hilarious diva-like Scarlett and the new additions from other teams. This is also the book in which readers will discover the truth about Madame Kristiana von Berne and some rivalries from the past. Everything in this book ties together magically, and it will leave you with a huge smile on your face. * Chicklish *
