The Greatest Skating Race successfully juxtaposes heartfelt illustrations and melodic text against relatable characters who contend with the tensions of WWII German occupation. The author's creative and authentic use of a skating story as the story's backbone manages to send warm sentiments and icy shivers up readers' spines. Niki Daly's illustrations perfectly convey each word's mood.
