Pink Slippers, Bat Mitzvah Blues

Alyssa wanted to dance after her Bat mitzvah, and nothing else. Then many pressures occur in Alyssa?s life. Although Alyssa just wants to dance she just can?t leave out her religion and life?s challenges. Alyssa has to decide if dancing is more important then her religion and the obstacles that come before her. Alyssa?s dance teacher already thinks she?s behind. Alyssa tries to focus on dance but life is just to complicated. I think this was an excellent book. It was just the right length and it didn?t bore me. I can?t stand extremely long books that just drag on and on. For me this book was perfect. I loved the plot of the book. I?m a dancer and recently I have had so many obstacles in my life that have interfered with dance. I wanted to join a new sport that I really wanted to do but it was either that or dance and we all know the answer there. I think I liked this book so much because it really appealed to my life. I give this book 4 out of 5 stars.

I am an 11 year old Jewish girl. I think this story is really fun to read. I've read it about 10 times. I love the ending the best! I think any girl who goes to hebrew school would relate to this.
