Skating Shoes by Noel Streatfeild
4.0
I absolutely adore Noel Streatfeild. Her writing is simplistic but extremely charming. I love her old-fashioned stories about children discovering who they are while they develop artistic abilities and talents. Whenever I read Streatfeild's novels, I immediately want to be a ten year old girl who goes to a London school for dancing, music, and theater in the 1940's, she's that powerful as a writer.
"Skating Shoes" is a slightly different slant from her other 'shoe' books, but I enjoyed it. While the characters in this book weren't quite as real to me as some of her others, the story was compelling and unique. A very nice book overall.
