Description

Figure skating is Kaitlin’s passion, but she lands on thin ice after a meltdown in this funny, touching story. Because when you fall down, you have to pick yourself up—even if it’s in front of judges and a crowd. Kaitlin has always dreamed of being a champion figure skater, and she’s given up a lot to pursue her passion. But after she has a totally uncharacteristic tantrum at a major competition, she’s dropped by both her coach and her prestigious skating club. When no other club will have her, she’s forced to join the ridiculed and run-down Fallton Club, jokingly referred to as the “Fall Down Club.” At first Kaitlin thinks this is a complete disaster, but after meeting some of the other skaters—including a boy who happens to have the most perfect hair she’s ever seen—she realizes it might not actually be so bad. Yet learning a whole new program right before regionals is a huge challenge, and when she realizes that all the other area skaters target Fallton for pranks, she begins to wonder if joining the Fall Down Club has any upside.

Great!
Format: Paperback
This has been my favorite book since I was in middle school! So well written and the author really drew me into the characters! Highly recommend for any girl!

A charming story of second chances and following your dreams
Format: Hardcover
I absolutely adored this book. It was charming, sweet, wholesome, with just a touch of pre-teen sass. Kaitlin's journey took me back to my middle school years, with all the adorable and awkward that comes with it. Before I read BREAKING THE ICE, I knew next to nothing about figure skating, but it didn't take long for me to become wrapped up in Kaitlin's world of Zambonis, skate guards, and double axels. The story begins with Kaitlin's less-than-graceful reaction when she learns she's received embarrassingly low scores after her skating routine. Acting completely out of character, she yells at the judges in front of all the other competitors and their families. Mortified, she's expelled from her training club, and shipped off to the less-than-reputable Fallton club, where she attempts to turn over a new leaf. You don't have to be an athlete to enjoy this book, though it might be a bonus, as Kaitlin's entire life--as well as her parents' lives--completely revolve around Kaitlin's skating. Ultimately, this is a story of second chances, redemption, and forgiveness as Kaitlin navigates her world of friendship, first crushes, and what it means to find your own voice and follow your dreams. ... show more

smart, and suspenseful
Format: Kindle
Both my 12-year-old and I read this book at the same time... and neither of us could put it down! You'll route for Kaitlin every step (and toe jump) of the way. The voice is authentic tween, and the storyline is riveting. The book was sassy, smart, and suspenseful, and it was a delight to read.
