    About this ebook

    Cindy hates her current situation: stuck on the sidelines with a broken leg instead of figure skating in the mid-winter jubilee.

    Then a bright light appears beside her.

    Nope. Not a broken spotlight. A fairy sits there. 

    An ice skating fairy. Who invites Cindy to her own practice later that evening. 

    Maybe the entire situation doesn't suck after all.

    Set in the same world as the story, "The Fairy Boy Band."

      G eez, this bites .

      Cindy looked around. Who had just voiced the exact words going through her head? She hadn’t heard anyone come up behind her. She looked down both sides the row of seats where she sat, as well as behind her. The empty seats of the arena stretched out in both directions until they

      curved

      away

      .

      Cindy repositioned her earmuffs, careful not to get stray pieces of her brown hair caught in them and end up looking like a dork. She’d worn the neon-blue earmuffs today, the ones that matched the warm gloves she wore. Her bright-green down jacket kept out most of the cold, though Cindy was used to the frigid temperatures of the practice rink. More than once Cindy’s coach had told Cindy that the chilled air gave her pale cheeks a nice, healthy, pink glow, as a way of derailing her grousing. Plus, the color hid her totally typical teenage acne. Black ski pants covered her legs, the kind that zipped at the bottom so she could wear them over

      On the ice of the skating rink in front of her, Janice was still not picking up the choreography. It wasn’t that difficult. Turn, turn, leap, camel. Cindy could do this simple of a routine in her sleep. She couldn’t help but roll her eyes as Janice stumbled again. Cindy sighed. Wouldn’t Janice ever figure

      Could have done this sort of routine. Before her stupid sister and her stupid friends had agreed to drive Cindy to practice, only to slam into the back of a stopped pickup truck. At least no one had ended up permanently damaged. Cindy, though, had gotten the worst of the injuries: a fractured tibia.

      Which meant she couldn’t practice. Couldn’t perform. Wasn’t going to be going be part of the annual mid-winter jubilee celebration put on by the best teen figure skaters in the state of Washington.
