It was a good book overall. Very dramatic and full of excitement. The storyline was very similar to the cinderela story that they were performing.

Don't let the sparkles on the cover fool you into thinking this is a cutsie book. When big-footed Belinda wins the role of Cinderella over competetive, petite Lola in the Grand Metropolitan Ballet's production, Lola gets MEAN, finally locking poor Belinda in a closet on opening night so she can steal the show. All the pretty fun of the ballet with a little bite -- nice! (
