Description
From glistening ice roads to frozen canals, in a wonderland where even the richest nobles thrill to the gliding joys of winter, everyone is awaiting the fabulous race to win the magnificent Silver Skates — Except Hans Brinker and his sister Gretel. For the Brinkers are desperately poor, friendless; with a father felled by a crippling head wound, Mother and the children must battle simply to survive. And while Hans and Gretel are strong, fast, disciplined, and loyal…on hand-crafted wooden skates, they can’t complete against trained rich kids with fine steel blades… But sometimes…sometimes…good people are given a chance. Sometimes strangers do care. And sometimes a family’s love and loyalty can struggle against even the cruelest twists of fate… Sometimes… At the Publisher’s request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
