Book overview

Khalli Davies has been training at Berger Lake Ice Center for just a few months, but that short time period was all she needed to fall head over toe picks for figure skating. Khalli trains with one of the best and toughest coaches in the area--Coach Marie--and Coach Marie has high expectations for Khalli!

Even though she is just a few months into the sport, Khalli is aiming to take her first national level test. In order to reach this goal, Khalli needs to give a lot of her time and energy to the ice. Finding balance between her new passion, her friends, her family, and her grades is not easy, but goals are just dreams with deadlines, and Khalli plans to achieve this dream so she can set her sights even higher. Lace up your skates and step on the ice with Khalli as she works toward her very first national figure skating test. Join Khalli as she learns skating tips, experiences trials and triumphs, and gains the mindset of a dedicated young athlete.
