Tutu Much by Airin Emery made me think of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants in the way the five girls in the story all have different circumstances in their lives, but are all drawn together by a common interest.  In Tutu Much, they are all drawn together by ballet.  They are all attending a ballet summer camp in New York City.  Without family members there to support them, the intensity of the training and close living quarters force the girls to trust and rely upon each other.  The author paints a clear picture of each girls' family situation and dance history.  The characters are believable and the scenes are set with clear language.This book is appropriate for young teens up through adults.  I will recommend it to my niece who is a performer, as I feel that is has great messages to share with teens without being too preachy.  I look forward to reading the next book in this series.
