''Ana on the Edge'' is a 2020 middle grade novel by A.J. Sass.
Twelve-year-old Ana-Marie Jin is the reigning US Juvenile figure skating champion, and now, as an Intermediate skater, she hopes to go on to compete internationally. But when she learns that next season she'll be skating to a song from ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty'' while wearing a princess dress, she feels incredibly uncomfortable and unhappy with the idea, although she doesn't know why. Then she befriends Hayden Lubeck, a trans boy taking classes at skate-school who mistakes Ana for a boy. As Ana presents as male to Hayden and his family while continuing to present as female to everyone else, she gradually realizes that she is nonbinary.
----
!!''Ana on the Edge'' contains examples of:
* AffectionateNickname: Ana's coach, Alex, sometimes calls her "Bean."
* DisappearedDad: Ana's dad moved to Hawaii when she was a baby. He used to call every Sunday night, but the phone calls became less frequent, and now she hasn't heard from him in years. The last thing he sent her was a charm necklace that says "life" in Hebrew for her eighth birthday.
* FamilyThemeNaming: Two of the other skaters are Faith and Hope Park.
* HomeschooledKids: Ana has been homeschooled since the beginning of sixth grade. During the day she sits in an empty cubicle in her mom's workplace and watches video lectures, and she does homework in the afternoon.
* WhichBathroomDilemma: When Ana goes to Fairyland with Hayden's family, she doesn't know what bathroom to use. Instead of making a choice, she just holds it until she gets home.
