Very Good Book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
"Maggie Adams, Dancer" is one of my favorite books. I've read it over and over. It is such a realistic book, and many people can relate to the issues and situations in here. Maggie Adams' struggle to prove herself a great dancer is very inspiring, and many people can relate to it. I think that this is the perfect book for any ballet fan or dancer, or anyone who likes to read about ballet. It was a terrific book.
A really good book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I really enjoyed this book when I got it. I was probably around 13 at the time and heavily into ballet. The characters are realistic, and so are the issues of a ballet dancer. It's more than just about ballet; there are other things, family, boyfriends that have an effect on a dancer's life. And not every dancer's story ends in a climactic, brilliant performance. I liked this book and Maggie Adams a lot. I hope I find the others.
A coming of age book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I really enjoyed this book at around age 12. It discusses a young girl's struggle to realize her dream of becoming a ballet dancer. She must give up some social opportunities, worry about her weight, and try to be graceful during an awkward time in a girl's life. It talks about fierce competition, commitment to goals, and is fairly realistic in presenting the pros and cons of the sacrifices Maggie makes. A good read for pre-teens or early teens.
