Review by Luisa.
Frankie has made it to the Winter Olympics in Canada and she's over the moon! She and the rest of Team GB are filled with excitement, and Frankie can't wait for the skating events to begin. But competition is fierce and some of her rivals might not be playing fair...
This is the fourth and final book in the brilliant Skate School series, perfect for ice skating fans aged about 9 or 10 and up. You don't have to know anything about ice skating to enjoy it, though - the joy and tension of the sport comes across clearly on the page, and the book is also crammed with friendship drama, a sneaky mystery and a very sweet, gentle romance.
All the characters are fantastic, including the hilarious diva-like Scarlett and the new additions from other teams. This is also the book in which readers will discover the truth about Madame Kristiana von Berne and some rivalries from the past.
Everything in this book ties together magically, and it will leave you with a huge smile on your face.

I noted this book a long time ago, but I didn't know what to expect... Now I read your review, I'm sure it's going to go from my wishlist to my TBR-pile ^^
