Bookroo's summary
Trisha's passion for ballet clashes with Richie's love for hockey, sparking a playful rivalry. When Richie mocks her dedication, Trisha dares him to dance in her recital. He accepts, but only if she joins his hockey team for a crucial game. As they step into each other's shoes, will they discover unexpected talents or face embarrassing failures? Dive into this spirited tale of competition, courage, and the surprising bonds that form when two worlds collide.
From the publisher
Seems like Richie’s entire goal in life is to make Trisha’s impossible. Especially when he takes to teasing her about her beloved ballet class. Trisha knows how much work it takes to be good at ballet–much more than the stupid hockey Richie plays! So she challenges Richie to perform in her ballet recital, and Richie agrees, under one condition: Trisha has to join his hockey team for the big game!
