After a long illness leaves Harriet Johnson weak and listless, her doctor prescribes ice skating to rebuild the strength in her legs. Unsure of skating, Harriet changes her mind when she meets Lalla Moore at the rink. Lalla is adorable, fun, and an accomplished skater. Their friendship grows and blossoms on the ice. The girls are good for each other.
But our story takes a turn when Harriet turns out to have more promise as a skater. Can the girls stay friends with such competition between them? Or will the skating that brought them together also tear them apart?
Read and find out!
This is a charming story, though I’m not sure that today’s girls would love it. It is sort of old-fashioned.
