But something has come between her and her dream…..her breasts. When she does not get the lead in Cinderella because of them she starts thinking about taking action. Meanwhile, some nefarious person is hanging red shoes around the school and a cute, new boy may be just the ticket to making Kayla’s life a little more fun. This is a cute, fluffy book that does deal with a weightier issue, but in such a way that you never even realize it. It delves into all the trials and tribulations of being a teenager while staying upbeat and funny. A quick, light read. parkridgeya | Mar 16, 2008 |   This was a really fun book - I liked the characters, and I liked how it wasn't just about the ballerina with too-big boobs and the guy she has a crush on. The mystery of the death threat red ballet shoes turned into a a brief lesson in feminism related to Margaret Atwood's poetry. This is a quick, fun mystery for girls, especially those with a dance background. (  )readerspeak | Nov 12, 2007 | Kayla has been studying ballet for years.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 006055701X, Hardcover)I hadn't really thought of my breasts as "problem breasts." It made them sound like children who wouldn't behave. No bra was going to keep these babies a secret. And those tips for the full-figured girl in the magazines? Please. Even NASA couldn't design a tank suit to camouflage my proportions. Kayla Callaway has been studying ballet since she learned to walk, and her heart is set on a future in the dance world. She's sure she'll get a solo part in Cinderella, the spring ballet at her high school. But when the parts are finally posted, Kayla is shocked that she's only landed a role as a stepsister –– and an ugly one, at that! The brutal truth: Ballet and big boobs don't mix. Suddenly Kayla's dream for the future has become a real-life fractured fairy tale. To make matters worse, bloodred pointe shoes with threatening messages start popping up all over school. When Kayla learns that she'll be wearing red pointe shoes in the ballet, she wonders if the messages are meant for her. But who are they from? And more important -- what do they mean?
