Review: Good ballet book for girls
Rating: 4 out of 5

This book is a light read for teen girls.  It deals with the lives of several girls who are involved in a summer intensive training program.  They become roommates and finally friends, but not all of them really want to be a ballerina.  The story deals with pressure from parents, from friends, and from themselves.  Everything is not all light and airy in this story, and it even deals with one girl who battles bulimia to stay thin (although she eventually realizes she needs help).  Even though the story is not very deep, some good issues are dealt with in an interesting way.  If the story had flowed a little more with better editing, and if the story could have been long enough to dig a little deeper into the lives of the girls, it would have been even better.
