welve-year-old Brit Laura Lee is excited about heading off with her ice-dance partner, Patrick, to Montreal, where they have a chance to take the gold at the Junior Grand Prix. But when Patrick falls and injures his knee, it looks as if their hopes are dashed. Laura isn't one to give up easily, however. She spots another skater, Scott, at the rink and thinks he might be able to replace Patrick. But is it really possible to come up with new winning programs in just one month? This is strictly formulaic fiction (the answer to the question, of course, is a resounding "Yes!"), but that won't matter to the middle-graders who will be attracted by the cover picture of a skater's shapely leg and the spraying ice. Although Laura and Scott must overcome a few problems (Patrick's jealousy, Scott's soccer friends), everything resolves quickly. Fast and fun.
