"OUT IN THE COLD"

Lynn Kirby

Did you know that in order to do something that seems impossible you've got to have a little bit of faith. You have got to try + work for it and that's just what 12 year old Shannon banks did at her Olympic skating competition. This book "Out in the Cold" is about friendship, leadership, trust, revenge, fury, and faith in god. This book is hilarious, inspiring, breathtaking, and quite perseverant. The author (Lynn Kirby) is very descriptive throughout the novel, you now how all of the characters think + show their actions. The characters are friendly and mischievous as any other human.
This novel is believable because of the events that appear happen every day in your life between friendships. This book takes place in San Francisco, were Shannon lives a happy, peaceful, and normal life. Her passion is ice-skating. She has many friends that also receive skating lessons, their friendship was tight but that all changes once this new girl that was practically a pro stepped into the skating ring.
Shannon breaks her arm while doing a fast spin, she misses a month from practice, the Olympics are coming up, she struggles a lot and yet all she needs is a little faith ... trust in order to succeed!
This book was very inspiring for me, I loved it! At every page you read, it gets better, and the ending... is a BLAST! You never know what you can do until you try! Only recommended for girls.
