When Danielle lands the lead role in the ice show and she begins to act strangely, her friends suspect that she may be afraid of being in the spotlight
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.
