description: When Stevie Jaeger begins her freshman year of high school, she has two to dance in Company, and to with the attention of Kyle, the cutest guy around. But Terra, a popular senior, proves an obstacle on both fronts. Stevie endures Terra's contempt with humor and determination, of which she has plenty -- along with a secret no one must know … not if she is ever going to fit in with Company. Realizing that dance technique is only a small part of the challenge, Stevie risks heart and soul to be a part of what she loves. Along the way, she learns that friendship can be the greatest test of courage, and the most rewarding of feats. Diane Shader Smith depicts the struggles of growing up with sensitivity and insight. In Stevie, she creates a spirited character, a girl who must learn to trust others if she is to grow not just older, but stronger. From the author of Mallory's 65 Roses comes a novel written without sentimentality, but with honesty and verve. Stevie's Secret will linger in your heart long after the final curtain.
