5.0 out of 5 stars
A fun book for the young skating fan and Michelle Kwan fan.,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Skating Dreams: Staying Balanced - Book #2 (Paperback)
This the second in a series of books about young skater Lauren Wing [Michelle Kwan's middle name is Wing], a fictional character that seems partially inspired by Ms. Kwan's story. The story is quite good. It is quite insightful into the life of a young skater. The cover's description that it is for ages 8-10 seems right [although I bet fans of all ages would enjoy the story]. It features in the middle of the book a wonderful picture postcard of Michelle Kwan skating to her A Day In The Life program from the '99-'00 season. The book also features Ms. Kwan's answers to questions about her and her skating. Overall, highly recommended!
5.0 out of 5 stars
It's about more than skating,
By A Customer
This review is from: Skating Dreams: Staying Balanced - Book #2 (Paperback)
My nine year old daughter loves this series of books. The stories address some of the issues and pressures as well as the joys of skating, including not always having enough funding for lessons or the most expensive dress, trying to keep up with schoolwork and even coping with sometimes fierce competition and petty jealousies. Its about the wonderful bonds of friendship that are made between coach and student as well as between the young skaters themselves. The stories also stress that hard work and commitment will lead to success - very encouraging and positive!
