BUYING ADVISORY: MS - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
Brooklyn loves Ballet, and she is very good. When her mother remarried, and they moved to Texas, they built a dance studio in the basement for her. She'll be going to high school next year and wants to get into the prestigious Texas School of the Arts, but when her partner in the pas de deux breaks his leg, she asks one of the middle school football players to learn the dance and be her partner. He agrees only if she will let him try to make her a football fan. Brooklyn HATES football! Her new stepbrother is the hero of the high school team and the whole town seems obsessed with football, but Brooklyn is desperate, so she agrees. Maybe ballet and football have more in common than she thinks.
So many of these Aladdin mix books are girl centered, it's great to see one I can recommend to the boys as well. A great mix of football and ballet with lessons learned on both sides, especially, "When you give people a chance, they end up surprising you!" I think the same thing applies to books.
