Book excerpt: Rosie loves to skate: she has found her element and truly believes that there is no life without skating. She thinks it; lives it; dreams it - accepts its challenges and turns to it for solace. However, having a bratty little sister who is rapidly becoming recognised as a talented gymnast, a mum who already has two jobs to make ends meet and a threat to her lifts to the ice rink, it looks as if Rosie's skating days are numbered. Growing worries over her beloved Nan, the emergence of an unexpected enemy and a school project which takes on a mind of its own, all contribute to changing Rosie's world forever and lead to the realisation of her most secret dream.
