4.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful, as well as educational book on ice skating., July 6, 1998

This review is from: Going for the Gold (Silver Blades) (Paperback)

I have read many Silver Blade's books but this one was my favorite. As well of explaining the fun and challenges in a ice skater's life, it also gives details on many ice skating jumps and moves. The feelings that Jill has, are similer to those a child would have today. I highly recommend this book to any child or teen who's interested in ice skating or the problems or results in many situations concerning ice skating. Thank you!

4.0 out of 5 stars It's okay, April 30, 2000

This review is from: Going for the Gold (Silver Blades) (Paperback)

I liked it, but not as much as the other Silver Blades books. When Jill feels homesick and incompetent, she is upset and seeks funny Kevin's cheering-up. But when Kevin gets her into trouble. . .I won't spoil the ending! But the way she retaliates at her problems is funny. A good read.
