Marisol has always loved to dance-to the salsa at family parties, to the boom boxes on Loisada Avenue. Then she wins a scholarship to ballet school and discovers an inspiring new world of beauty and discipline. But when violence erupts in Alphabet City, Marisol's dream starts to slip away.

A Story with Heart
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Alphabet City Ballet has realistic characters, unpredictable twists of plot, spirit, and depth. I am a teacher and read this in connection to the class I teach, but once I started, I was totally captivated. To me, the best things about the story are the family interactions and the changes that take place in the main character. I like this book very much.
