A heartwarming debut from author Caroline Huntoon about a young figure skater discovering who they are on and off the ice. Life isn?t easy on twelve-year-old Mars. 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. Skating on Mars is a tender examination of grief and a hopeful middle grade tale of self-discovery. "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 Up for Air and Coming Up Short
