Review: Great book for teen girls
Rating: 4 out of 5

I love good fiction for teens that addresses issues that they face in everyday life - and this book touches on many of them: fitting in, meeting (or not meeting) expectations of parents and teachers, and eating disorders, just to name a few. I thought the story was good - it focused on five different girls in a intensive summer ballet program, so there was a bit of jumping back and forth to get all their stories at first, but it flowed overall very well.  I think any teen girl who enjoys dance or ballet would enjoy this book, and parents will enjoy that it enforces good lessons without being preachy.
