Nikki, Danielle, Tori, and Jill are four talented skaters who share one special dream--competing in the Olympics someday. And they're going to try to make it all happen in Silver Blades, the best skating club around!
Danielle Panati has always worked hard at her skating, and it's definitely starting to pay off. Danielle's just won the lead role in the Silver Blades Ice Show! Rehearsals go great at first, but then the other members of Silver Blades start noticing that Danielle's acting strange. Is it the pressure of being in the spotlight--or does Danielle have a secret that she doesn't want to share?
The thrilling tale of a girl who gets the main part in an ice show and stops eating to lose weight.
Wait a second... this isn't Skate School.
Yeah Nikki and the rest are tons more realistic than Skate School. Silver Blades is a CLUB not a school. This somehow makes it more believable, even though Jill does go to the Ice Academy in book 4, you can see that it was hard work to get there, not a chance meeting with the director.
Why did Danielle get the main part? I'm fairly sure she is the worst skater in the club, only possibly excluding the elementary schoolers. Even Nikki is better, and Nikki has only been there for one book. It's clear she can't handle it, or else she wouldn't have starved herself.
