«White Boots» is Noel Streatfeild's children's novel, published by Puffin in paperback (224 pages, in English).
Harriet takes up ice skating on medical advice and is initially bad at it, but when she meets Lalla Moore, a young skating prospect, her level improves quickly. That improvement arouses Lalla's jealousy, and Harriet must choose between keeping their friendship or continuing to pursue her new hobby.
The work was originally published in 1951; this Puffin edition is from 1976. It is part of the «Shoes» series, where it is the seventh instalment.
For children's and young adult readers interested in ice skating and in stories of friendship and rivalry.
Mary Noel Streatfeild was an English author, best known for children's books including the "Shoes" books, which were not a series. Random House, the U.S. publisher of the 1936 novel Ballet Shoes (1936), published some of Streatfeild's subsequent children's books using the word "Shoes" in their titles, to capitalise on the popularity of Ballet Shoes; thus Circus Shoes, Party Shoes, Skating Shoes and many more. She won the third annual Carnegie Medal for The Circus Is Coming.
