Fiorella De Maria

Broschiertes Buch

My Family and Other Skaters

Beschreibung

With both realism and humor, this compelling and heartwarming novel describes, in first-person narrative, the joys and the challenges of a modern English family. They are unique in many ways--for one thing, all of the six children are competitive figure skaters, and for another, they have a pet alpaca. Yet, they weather the storms of life with the same sometimes clumsy attempts at patience and understanding found in most families.
