As a 22 year old, I can without a doubt say that this was one of the most beautiful stories. I loved The Ballet Shoes when I was younger, both the book and the film. This story took me back to when I read it and made my heart warm and tears form in my eyes.
I do hope that when children read this I feel inspired and courageous just like the Pebble and Fossil children!

I love Carrie Hope Fletcher's books so much, and was really excited when I heard that she was writing her first children's novel. Like her other books this book is full of hope and completely heartwarming. You can definitely tell that the author works in theatre--the many details made the setting completely realistic, and the story very immersive. This is a gorgeous little book about leaving your mark, and overcoming obstacles to follow your dream. Perfect for anyone who loves the classic "Ballet Shoes", or is looking for a wonderful story to disappear into for a while!

'Into the Spotlight' by Carrie Hope Fletcher is a lovely book about three siblings who are actually not really siblings, but that doesn't matter to them. They each have a unique personality and still enjoy the same things, especially the theatre they all live in. When Marigold, the eldest of the three, finds an old diary she doesn't know yet, that this will save their beloved theatre.
I really enjoyed the story about the three pebble sibling. I love how they each have a unique personality and that they find euqal unique characters in the old diary. The book teaches us a lot about ourselves and how we should always follow our dreams and do what we love most.
As an adult, some passages seem silly and not realistic enough to me, but I guess children won't be bothered by that.
All in all a lovely book I can really recommend to everybody, children and adults.
