Turning Pointes

From ‘Dancing with the Stars’ winner, Emma Freedman, comes a book about the highs and lows in the world of dance.

April Franklin is 13 years of age and has been dancing half her life. While April loves ballet, she’s not sure if classical is right for her, particularly since she doesn’t have the perfect ballet body - and of course all of the mean girls at her ballet school do …

There are, however, many ways to dance, and when April has the opportunity to explore them she leaps at the chance, even though she is very aware that her mother has high hopes for her as a classical dancer.

Mean girls, stage mothers, big dreams …sometimes finding your feet in the world of dance can be hard. Age: 9+
