Casey Carlyle has never quite fit in. Caught between her fantasy of becoming a championship figure skater and her strong-willed mother, who has her on the fast track to Harvard, she can only hope to be like Nikki, Tiffany and Gen – three elite skating prodigies who are ruthlessly competing on the US National circuit (and have attitudes to match).
Sample Discussion Guide Questions:
How were Gen’s and Casey’s moms similar? In what ways were they different? How do you think your parents would react if you wanted to quit something that they were very excited about?
Casey felt that she couldn’t balance her skating schedule with a full-time schedule at Harvard. Are you in a sport? How do you balance both school and sports?
