Clifford said: “Jennifer’s writing has made us all fall in love with the figure skating world: we know that readers adore the combination of love triangle tension, electrifying drama and ambitious high-stakes competition in Finding Her Edge. The ending leaves readers wanting more and this sequel will continue the plot twists and chemistry that readers and viewers are clamouring for. We are delighted to be working with Jennifer and our colleagues in the US as she returns to the rink next year with On Thin Ice.”
Iacopelli commented: “I’m so thrilled to be back with Hachette and to be working with Hachette Children’s in the UK alongside Little, Brown for Young Readers in the US for On Thin Ice. To have such an incredible team of professionals on both sides of the Atlantic helping me bring readers more from the world of Finding Her Edge and to continue Adriana’s journey in and out of the rink, is an absolute dream come true.”
