日日夜夜，卡莉·卡特在她后院池塘边溜冰。她喜欢溜冰，喜欢它超过巧克力蛋糕，去商场--超出朋友的理解。直到霍尼布鲁克溜冰场宣布比赛,每个人都认为这是卡莉的大机会！现在，卡莉日夜训练。她想赢得大奖..是她吗？有时候，可以做自己喜欢的事本身就是一种奖赏，就像艾琳·卢卡雷利的美丽的故事。安妮·肯尼迪的丰富艺术展示了一个独特的女主角。

Day and night, Callie Cat ice skates on the pond in her backyard. She loves to ice skate, loves it more than chocolate cake, more than going to the mall--more than her friends can understand. That is, until the Honey brook Ice Rink announces a contest, and everyone thinks it could be Callie's big chance! Now Callie practices day and night. She wants to win the big prize . . . doesn't she? Sometimes doing something you love is its own reward, as Eileen Spinelli's beautiful story demonstrates. Anne Kennedy's exuberant art shows a unique heroine in motion.
