About this book

One girl. One boy. A small-town ice rink. This sweet story of hockey, friendships, and crushes is perfect for tween readers in search of a hockey rom-com that's just right for them. Harper was born to play hockey. She was captain of her school's hockey team...but after she causes an accident during a game, Harper is terrified to ever get back on the ice again. Instead, she gets a job at the local ice rink's snack shack and resigns herself to days spent making hot chocolates.

Until Jason, a cute figure skating champion and Harper's new classmate, comes to town. Suddenly, Harper wonders if she's truly happy with never putting her skates back on. With the help of her new crush and best friend, Bea, can Harper break the ice around her heart and forgive herself enough to lace up her skates again?
