Bookroo's summary
Thirteen-year-old Eva Chen faces a daunting recovery after a fall leaves her with a concussion. As she grapples with missing practice and the pressure of an upcoming family showcase, Eva overhears fellow skaters mocking her choice of a Mandarin song, a tribute to her heritage. Can Eva overcome her injury and the sting of prejudice to reclaim her place on the ice? Her journey is one of resilience and cultural pride, where the stakes are not just about skating, but about embracing her identity.
From the publisher
Late for practice at the ice arena, thirteen-year-old Eva Chen neglects to warm up and suffers a concussion when she falls during a difficult jump; frustrated at missing practice time, and worried about doing her routine at the family showcase, in front of a full arena, her parents, and her grandmother, Eva does not need any extra threats to her confidence–for instance, discovering that some of the other girls are laughing at her Chinese heritage.
