Ballet Friends #1 Toe-tally Fabulous
A Spotlight on Ballet Friends Hello ballet parents and readers, Welcome to Ballet Friends on Amazon. It's my pleasure to introduce you to the series. Ballet Friends is a new series for girls about friendship, dance, and following your dreams. It's written for girls ages 8 and up. Each Ballet Friends book features an exciting performance, which the characters achieve through dedication and teamwork. In every story, the "ballet friends" inspire each other to become the best dancers they can be. The Setting The stories take place in a small suburb just a short leap away from the bright lights of New York City. The characters study ballet in their quiet hometown, but they also take field trips to the city to see the ballet - and are even sometimes in it! (See book #3 Birthday at the Ballet). The Characters The main character is fifth-grader Bianca Best. She's a dancing diva who dreams of becoming a professional ballerina. Bianca is the leader of her group and loves ballet more than anything. The characters are a talented group of girls who love to perform. Sharing the stage with Bianca are lively dancer Jessie, drama queen Megan, musical wiz Lexi, and sweet but klutzy Kaylee. Book #1 Toe-tally Fabulous The series begins with #1 Toe-tally Fabulous. The girls meet at ballet camp over the summer and become instant best friends. It's the summer, so they bond over ballet buns and hot dog buns! And throughout the story, they hold onto the ballet barre as well as each other for support. By the end of the summer, they're trying on pointe shoes and are one step closer to their ballet dreams. Book #2 Join the Club The second book is #2 Join the Club. It's back-to-school time, and also the start of beginner pointeclass for the girls. They can't wait to jump into both, and also start the first ever ballet club in their school. See if five girls can make ballet take center stage in school. And there's more! The Ballet Friends series continues to grow with many new ballet adventures. The reader joins the characters on their journeys to Swan Lake, Broadway, a best friends pageant, and even a special performance of The Nutcracker in Book #10, The Nutcracker Ballet Club. Thank you for reading, and I hope your ballerina enjoys the series! Ballet wishes, Kitty Michaels
