Ellie's Chance to Dance #1

I really like Ellie's chance to dance. I've read almost all of the series. I love these books and any girl or boy ballet enthusiast should read this book.

My daughter who has ballet lessons loves to read this series.

This is a charming book that makes the ballet world come alive for its young students. Anyone who dreams of becoming a ballerina, especially those that want to study at the Royal Ballet School, will love this book. It describes ballet classes and the school itself. The narrator of the story is Ellie, who is moving to England with her widowed mother who just got a new job there. Now Ellie is able to attend an audition for the R.B.S. junior associate program. Ellis goes through all the issues with moving to a different country, meeting new friends, trying to keep old ones, and also seeing her mother fall in love with someone. This story will please anyone interested in ballet, especially younger ones.

I do ballet, and Alexandra Moss' books are so acurate with the way things actually happen that I absolutley love them. They face real life problems that aren't exaggerated in any way! This book is wonderful!

Ellie has moved from Chicago to England to attend RBS. There are many problems ahed of her: 1. Her mom has MS and gets attacks,plus her father died when she was younger. 2. Rachel, a girl in her class who is teasing her about being so talented. 3. She might not be accepted to RBS for the Lower House because she isnt a good dancer. 4. Her mom is in love. 5. Her best friend might not like her anymore. What is Ellie going to do?
