Seeing as I am both a former ballet dancer and a former theatre kid
(though I'm not much for musicals), I think it was inevitable that this
book would grab my attention.
The premise is as follows: Alina
was a pre-professional ballet dancer with dreams of joining ABT until
she broke her leg. Since she can no longer dance on pointe, she can no
longer pursue her ballet dreams, and she's not coping with this very
well. She resigns herself to trying out for the school musical to
appease her parents and ends up with a new perspective.
