A reread of something from my childhood. I remember that I loved it and found the content very novel but now I find it a little simplistic and am worried about how the disability representation might read

The thrilling tale of a girl who gets MD and still tries to compete in Nationals.
Wait a second... this isn't Skate School.
Yeah Nikki and the rest are tons more realistic than Skate School. Silver Blades is a CLUB not a school. This somehow makes it more believable, even though Jill does go to the Ice Academy in book 4, you can see that it was hard work to get there, not a chance meeting with the director.
Tori gets a Red Disease (Infection reference - best game EVER) but, contrary to her mother's wishes, still decides to compete in Nationals and be in for a chance to go to the Olympics. She, of course, gets in, but she has to undergo extreme physical pain in order to do so.
