Description

New studio. New rivals. One girl determined to prove she's got what it takes to shine…

Ten-year-old Dani Grace Harper is ambitious, quirky, and far from perfect. When her best friend leaves for an elite tennis academy, Dani Grace throws herself into ballet, determined to prove she has what it takes to shine. But surrounded by older, more experienced dancers, she struggles to keep up—and as the pressure builds, she makes a choice that could cost her everything.

A heartfelt story about friendship, determination, and finding your own rhythm. Perfect for readers who loved The Baby-Sitters Club and Sugar Plum Ballerinas.
