Cammie and Alex's Adventures in Skateland - A Children's Figure Skating Book

Thursday August 21, 2008
Cammie and Alex's Adventures in Skateland
Cammie and Alex's Adventures in Skateland is a children's figure skating book about a young and very proud ice skater named Cammie. She likes doing jumps and spins, but does not like to practice basic ice skating skills such as edges, turns, and footwork. When she, and another skater named Alex, are told by their coach that they cannot compete in a competition since their fundamental figure skating skills need work, the children decide to enter the competition anyway. As they travel to the competition location, they end up going on a magical and scary adventure.

The idea and plot of the story is very original. Figure skating fiction does not usually include magic or witches, but the fairytale nature of the story make Cammie and Alex's Adventure in Skateland quite unique.
