Title: Mia. Author: Laurence Yep Copyright date: 2008 Number of pages: 103 pages

My book is about a girl named Mia who ice skates. Mia is 10 years old. Mia has red hair and bright blue eyes. She also has freckles. Mia has 3 brothers who play ice hockey. Mia used to play ice hockey with her brothers but she joined the ice skating team.To pay for ice skating lessons, she has to work at the ice rink.

This story takes place mostly at the ice rink. It also takes place at her house. She lives in a small town in New York. This quote takes place at the ice rink in the night of the show. “ The night of the show, we hung curtains across the doorway that Bob uses to bring the Beast in and out. As a door frame, some of the parents had put up huge cardboard trees, frosted them with white glitter, and hung twinkling lights in the branches.” Page 102

When Mia Finds out she has a new coach she gets nervous. The new coach makes her practice more. Mia gets the hang of her routine. She does so good that she gets to go to the regionals. Will she make it? Read the book to find out.

I would recommend this story to people who like ice skating and people who like American Girl dolls. I think grades 4th through 7th would like it. I really enjoyed this book and think you would to. It teaches lessons and many other things.
