Product Information

Mia St. Clair a ten-year-old growing up in upstate New York is the youngest child and only girl in a family of intensely competitive hockey-crazed boys. Mia is a good hockey player but she's tired of skating in her brothers' shadows and has decided to pursue her passion for figure skating instead. When a new coach arrives to take over the Lucerne Skate Club Mia finds herself gently pushed to excel by the coach at the same time that she's pulled by her brothers to stick with hockey.

Mia's been picked for Regionals. But will she be ready? Mia knows the Regionals will take practice determination - and a miracle! Money for new skates and a costume is scarce in the sprawling St. Clair family. But Mia discovers that help can be found in unexpected places.

Can she stay true to her heart ad follow her own path? And can she hold her own in the world of competitive skating?
