Hans Brinker, Or, The Silver Skates by Mary Mapes Dodge



Amazon | Project Gutenberg

Hans and Gretel Brinker dream of entering the great skating race with a pair of silver skates as prize, but with their invalid father, who lost his memory in an accident years ago, unable to work, they are too poor to buy skates of their own to enter. Meanwhile, a group of boys from the neighborhood embark on a skating trip to the capital city of Holland, and eventually their adventures intersect for a happy finale. A lively, funny, heartwarming children's classic you won't forget!
