This was a sweet book, simply written about a young girl who escaped Africa to become a ballerina in the US. Personally, I found the first part of the story more interesting as five year-old Michaela struggled to survive in war-torn Sierra Leone. Once she moved to America with her adopted family, the novel became rather repetitive with ballet auditions and practise routines. However, still an uplifting book for young ballet lovers.

From war-torn Sierra Leone to the US, to dancing for the Dutch National Ballet, this is a heartwrenching, life-affirming true story of a young girl orphaned by war and saved by ballet. No library descriptions found. |
