As if seventh grade isn’t hard enough, Mars is also grappling with the recent death of their father and a realization they never got to share with him: they’re nonbinary. But with their skates laced up and the ice under their feet, all of those struggles melt away. When Mars’ triple toe loop draws the attention of a high school hot shot, he dares them to skate as a boy so the two can compete head-to-head. Unable to back down from a challenge, Mars accepts. But as competition draws near, the struggles of life off the rink start to complicate their performance in the rink, and Mars begins to second guess if there’s a place for them on the ice at all. \u003ci\u003eSkating on Mars\u003c\/i\u003e is a tender examination of grief and a hopeful middle grade tale of self-discovery. \u003cb\u003e\"This timely, triumphant novel about figure skating, identity, loss, and love will move and entertain readers—and it might just inspire them to find their own ways to change the world. \" —Laurie Morrison, author of \u003ci\u003eUp for Air\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eComing Up Short\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46528096632990,"sku":"TLD-9781250851864","price":16.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781250851864.jpg?v=1771476789","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781250851864","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
