A high-school bookworm transforms into a swan. Brainy Casey Carlyle has never quite fit in. Caught between her fantasy of becoming a championship figure skater and her strong-willed mother, who has her on the fast track to Harvard, she can only hope to be like Nikki, Tiffany and Gen--three elite skating prodigies who are ruthlessly competing on the US National circuit (and have attitudes to match). But when Casey gets the chance to train with Gen and her coach, a disgraced former skating champion who also happens to be Gen's mother, she must dash her own mother's hopes in order to pursue her dream. Now, with only the support of Gen's teenage brother, a hunky Zamboni driver, Casey takes on the challenge of her life when she finds herself competing against the best to make it into the championship circuit and become a real "ice princess."

Quotable: Casey
Casey: What's wrong with wanting to feel strong and graceful and beautiful for once in my life?Joan: [about Harvard] You can't do this, Case. You're giving up on your dream.
Casey: No, Mom. I'm giving up on your dream. I'm going after mine.
Casey: I want you to coach me for sectionals.
Tina: Why on earth would I do that?
Casey: Because you don't have a skater and I don't have a coach. We're a perfect match.
Joan: How can I not see you?
Casey: You see me better than anyone.
Quotable: Michelle
"I"m doing a lot of my own skating, but the triple axles, I"m obviously not required to do, because that takes years of training."
"I"ve gotten many, many injuries! I"m black and blue everywhere; I"ve fallen... torn ligaments in my ankles. No one can say I haven"t suffered for my art!"
"I"m like, great, I get to be all covered up now. Nooooo skating skirts are, like, up and flippy!"
"It dropped into my lap, and I thought it was a really good, inspiring story,'' she says. ``An ice-skating movie hadn't been done in a long, long time. I also knew what a passion people have for ice skating. I loved it when I was a little girl."
"Disney was like, Okay, done. Now start training your ass off!''
