Book Description

Publication Date: 3 Nov 2008

Harriet must choose between her friend Lalla and her new-found love of ice-skating…

“If you pass your inter-silver, I’ll tell Aunt Claudia that I don’t want to work with you any more.”

Harriet is told that she must take up ice-skating in order to improve her health. She isn’t much good at it, until she meets Lalla Moore, a young skating star. Now Harriet is getting better and better on the ice, and Lalla doesn’t like it. Does Harriet want to save their friendship more than she wants to skate?

Product Description

Review

“White Boots. Author: Noel (Ballet Shoes) Streatfeild. And you know we might very well leave it at that – for what higher recommendation is wanted? Noel Streatfeild has that happy, skilful knack of turning her characters into real people – something which only really good novelists can do. A first-rate book.”
BBC Children’s Hour

“Noel Streatfeild’s position in the children’s book world is unique. She is endlessly inventive, full of verve and real understanding of the surfaces of childhood. Her stories are rich in documentary interest and entertainment, escapism of a most satisfying sort.”
TLS

“Noel Streatfeild is an author who is a true master of her craft.”
Illustrated London News

From the Back Cover

When at last Harriet saw what her present was she hugged the boots and skates to her and almost sang. "My own white boots and skates. Proper white boots!"

Harriet is told that she must take up ice-skating in order to improve her health, but she's not much good at it, until she meets Lalla Moore, a young skating star. As Harriet finds herself getting better and better on the ice, she realises that Lalla is jealous of her new found talent. Does Harriet want to save their friendship more than she wants to skate?

5.0 out of 5 stars Impossible to put down. 2 July 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
White boots is an extraordinary book, which once you've read the first page is impossible to put down. The story plot is gripping and unpredictable. With a spectacular ending. I would recommend anybody to buy this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars As good today as it was when I was eleven 8 Jun 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I read this book as an eleven year old and now twenty years later it still stays with me in my memory as one of the best books I ever read!

I wasn't sure if it would even still be in print. Thankfully it is, and is obviously appreciated by many. A great book for any age, but especially for adolescents - proof that if you really set your mind to it you can achieve anything.
