5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Silver Blades ever!!!!!!!!!!, April 12, 1998

This review is from: On the Edge (Silver Blades) (Paperback)

I love this book!Tori, a skater on her way to the Nationals,starts feeling really low energy,and she finds out she has a rare muscle decease that could cause her to live her life stuck in a wheelchair, and never be able to skate again!Then, those awful words "to be continued" pop up! Tori has to decide wether to go to Nationals,where she could get her chance to go to the Olympics,or not! The other two books are called "Now or Never" and "Chance of a Lifetime"! Plus,at the end of the book, they say who some possible medalists at the Olympics are,like Tara Lipinski,Michelle Kwan,Nicole Bobek,Todd Eldridge and Micheal Weiss, plus stats and how the became skaters. This book is a perfect 10!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
