The Ice Cream Skating Races — Amy Laurens

Every year, the town of Linderch gathers to watch the Ice Cream Crown Skating Races, a series of trick races skated on a pond of magically deep-frozen ice cream. This year, fourteen-year-old George intends to win. If he loses, his family loses their house. George's biggest challenge? His year off, with no practice. Or so he thinks.Because this year, something sinister simmers, a dangerous mystery founded on a long-running grudge that may stand to jeopardise everything...A fantasy-mystery for anyone who loves whimsy - and would fight to protect it.
