Winner's Waltz-#2

By Barbara J. Mumma

Book Overview

Ice dancer Whitney Backman was annoyed when her partner, Brent Marks, developed cold hands--the inability to catch her during their routines. She considered getting another partner. But that was before East German champ Michaela Frankel showed up--and Brent was anything but cold to her.

Customer Reviews

ice dancing such a demanding trusting sport

whitney is at her whit's end. she and her partner brent have notbeen skating well at all and the sectional competition is rightaround the corner. to make matters worse, a young east germanice dancer has now come to the school to train missing a partner.will brent dump whitney for the young east german. stay tunedfor a very well written book.

Okay, but not much about skating

In this book, Whitney and her partner Brent clash on and off the ice. But when another ice dancer threatens to steal Brent from Whitney, she realizes that she doesn't want that to happen. But will it be too late? There's not much about skating or ice dancing in this book, only when they fight on the ice. It's still good, though, and you'll laugh when you read how Whitney copes with her strange new roommate. I liked how everything patched together nicely at the end. I recommend it for readers ages 10 to 14.
