Mia, the companion book for the 2008 Limited Edition American Girl Doll Mia St. Clair, will inspire young people to consider ice skating.
Mia is a ten year old who lives in a small town in New York State. In the past, she has played ice hockey with her three older brothers who are competitive ice hockey players. Mia's family is really into hockey and Mia is quite talented at hockey. Even though she could excel at hockey, she feels as if she is skating in her brothers' shadows, so she decides to pursue figure skating. In this book, she begins training hard at figure skating with a new coach and she learns lessons about hard work, commitment, and good sportsmanship.
