A snowboarding prodigy tries to reclaim her standing as the “Golden Girl” at her elite winter sports academy in this brand-new M!X novel.Lexi Miller—a.k.a. “Golden Girl”—is the snowboard cross queen. As the most promising student at her elite Vermont ski and snowboard school, Mountain Academy, Lexi is a shoo-in for the Olympic-level trial team. That is, until a freak fall during a snowboard-cross competition crushes her dreams and puts her future at stake. A year later, Lexi’s back at school, physically healed, but still mentally scarred. Every time she straps on her snowboard, severe panic attacks set in. To make matters worse, her best friend has turned her back on her, her archenemy on and off the slopes is determined to make her life miserable, and everyone is treating her like an outcast. The only person who seems to understand is Logan Conrad, a “staff rat” whose mother works on the mountain. Lexi finds herself drawn into his world just off the mountain, and discovers she has a knack for singing—something her new friends encourage. But Lexi’s dad—who also happens to be her coach and lead instructor at school—has different ideas about his daughter’s new friends and talent. Will Lexi ever be able to figure out what exactly happened on the mountain a year ago while trying to balance her own dreams with the dreams her father has for her?

Golden Girl has something I love in a book: unpredictability. The directions she took this book in were so unexpected, yet it all came together in a perfect way. This is what great fiction is about! Lexi is the most promising young snowboarder in her snowboarding school...until an accident sidelines her. But it wasn't an accident at all...it was sabotage. The book chronicles her return to the slopes after the accident, including how she finds her way and figures out who her true friends are. Children (and adults) can learn a lot from Lexi's kind heart and inner strength.
I'm a huge winter sports fan, but what I actually know about snowboard is pretty minimal. That wasn't a problem at all as I read this book. I found myself completely drawn into Lexi's world at Mountain Academy, where the competition is fierce and the weather is freezing. Lexi is back at school after spending months away while recovering from a devastating injury. The problem is she hasn't really recovered from the emotional aspect of the injury, and finds herself afraid to snowboard again. Even worse, she's not sure she wants to snowboard again. I loved the premise of this book, including the mystery that unfolds around how Lexi sustained the injury to begin with. It was fun to see Lexi figure out that there's a whole world outside of snowboarding. Great read!
This book was ah-mazing! I bought it last night at 9:00, then didn't put it down until I finished it at midnight. It so perfect! The action and drama just keeps on coming with this book, and it relates to any snowboarder that has ever been injured. I recommend this book to everyone.
According to my 11 year old daughter, this book was really good in the beginning. As the story unfolded, it became boring and she was greatly disappointed with the ending.
Cute book!
