Description
In a wonderland of frozen canals and water roads, where even the noblest citizens travel along the glistening ice trail, the year's most glorious event is about to take place-an open race to win the magnificent Silver Skates.
Yet Hans Brinker and his sister Gretel have no hope of competing. True, both children are strong and fast; loving and hard-working. But the Brinkers are desperately poor, friendless, Father crippled by a near-fatal head injury, Mother and the children struggling bravely to survive each day. Wearing only hand-carved wood skates, Hans and Gretel can't possibly match the rich kids who glide past on fine steel blades...
But sometimes miracles do happen... - from Amzon
