About This Book
This chapter book follows thirteen-year-old Kate as she embarks on a life-changing journey, leaving her home in Oregon to study with a prestigious national ballet company in New York City. The story explores the intense dedication required for professional ballet, the challenges of living independently at a young age, and the emotional process of self-discovery. Kate grapples with homesickness, the competitive environment, and ultimately, the realization that her passion for ballet might not align with the life of a ballerina. It's a thoughtful narrative about making difficult choices and finding one's own path.
