Bookroo's summary

Miles Lewis faces a double challenge: mastering ice skating to win a bet against his friend RJ, and dealing with the fear of his Nana moving out. As he navigates the slippery rink, Miles must also find a way to keep his beloved grandmother close. Will he manage to stay upright on the ice and in his family life, or will the pressure be too much? Dive into this heartwarming tale of science, sports, and family bonds, where every slip could mean more than just a fall.

From the publisher

From the award-winning author of the Jada Jones chapter books comes an illustrated spinoff series perfect for STEM fans! Miles Lewis loves science and sports. But when his teacher announces a class field trip to an ice skating rink to learn about physics, he isn’t so excited. He’s never ice skated before, and his friend RJ won’t let him forget it. RJ even challenges him to a bet: If Miles skates without falling, RJ will put a “Miles is the man” sign on his backpack. But if Miles falls, he has to put one on his that says the same about RJ. Miles can barely focus on the bet, though, because he suspects his beloved Nana has plans to move out of his family’s house–and that’s just too much to bear. Can he keep his cool with all the pressure from RJ while finding a way to make his grandma stay?
