Synopsis:

In a small town in Nova Scotia, Tommy is dreaming about skating on Half-mile Pond. He will skate fast, make circles and fancy figures on the ice, maybe even play hockey...as soon as he has his very own skates. Join Tommy in discovering how old-fashioned block skates are made. Will Tommy's new block skates be ready by winter?
