When setbacks threaten their dreams, their mom suggests an unlikely partnership: Dex as Phoebe's skating partner. With their father's memory looming, can they overcome their differences and find harmony on the ice? As they navigate sibling rivalry and personal challenges, the twins must decide if victory is worth the risk of rekindling their bond. Will they skate to success or fall apart under pressure?

From the publisher

For fans of Disney’s GO FIGURE, a laugh-out-loud, heartfelt dual POV sibling-rivalry story by acclaimed author Jessica Kim. Twelve-year-old fraternal twins Phoebe and Dexter Bae are polar opposites in every way except for their love of the ice. Phoebe is hyperfocused on pairs figure skating, and Dex loves his hockey team. But when Phoebe’s partner injures his knee just two months before competitions and Dex gets cut from his team in favor of a new hotshot goalie from Canada, they’re both left spinning. With their skating dreams dashed, their mother suggests that Dex fill in as Phoebe’s doubles partner. It’s a hard sell–the twins haven’t been close since their father passed away two years ago. For Dex, working with a perfectionist like Phoebe would be a challenge, but if it means he’d improve his skating technique enough to get back on the hockey team–and he’d have something to keep his mind off his dad–it’d be worth it. Phoebe isn’t thrilled either, but what choice does she have if she wants to bring home the gold, something that would’ve made her dad happy? Can these siblings skate past their differences toward victory?
