Pearl's birthday skates have a single blade and learning to use them is harder than she expects. Pearl has new skates. They are real skates (not double runners), and she can't wait to try them.

They are shiny white with red tassels, and she loves them. Will Pearl ever skate in real life the way she skates in...
