A review by bookgirl4ever
Dancing in the Wings by Debbie Allen

5.0

Because Sassy has long legs and big feet she's not your typical ballerina. When a representative from a Russian ballet school comes to scout out dancers for a show in Washington, D.C. for the next summer, Sassy signs up. Her classmates laugh, telling her it was a long shot with her height and big feet. Sassy's Uncle encourages her stand tall and do her best and Sassy delivers. She is only dancer from her school to be selected for the show. This is a story of perseverance and following one's dream.

Recommended grades 3rd-5th.
