Bookroo's summary
Lola is determined to become the best skater in school, convinced she needs her own skates to succeed. Despite Charlie's reminders of past forgotten hobbies, Lola insists this time is different. But when the ice proves more challenging than expected, will her enthusiasm melt away? Join Lola in this charming winter adventure as she navigates the slippery path of ambition and reality.
From the publisher
When Lola goes ice-skating with her friend Morten, she absolutely and extremely must have her own skates so she can be the very best skater in the whole school. Charlie reminds her that her guitar and yo-yo-which she really, really wanted-ended up unused in the closet, but she is certain this time is different. Will Lola still be enthusiastic when skating turns out to be trickier and more wobbly than it looks? A wintertime delight, the latest Charlie and Lola escapade is full of Lola-isms made popular on the duo’s successful Playhouse Disney show. Lola’s real-kid charm endures as the heart of this widely appealing series.
