Product Description
Book #2 in the Ballet Friends series.
Everything was going great in ballet for twelve-year-old Lisa, until one fateful day in class when it all came crashing down. While practicing a tricky pirouette, Lisa trips on her unraveling toe shoe ribbons and painfully lands on her ankle. All her ballet dreams flash before her eyes – and even faster than that, her mother scoops her up off the floor and out of ballet for good! But not if Lisa’s ballet friends have anything to do with it. The girls are determined to get Lisa back in ballet. With Bianca as their leader, the gang does whatever it takes to help Lisa recover and get right back into her toe shoes again. But will Lisa be allowed back in ballet class? If she’s not, will shy Lisa go back to her old ways and head back into her shell? And will jealous friend Margo like it better without Lisa, and secretly plot to keep her out? One thing is for sure, ballet is the glue that keeps the friendship together.

Reader ReviewsMy ten yr old loved this book as much as Ballet Friends #1. She said it was very funny and exciting. I was curious so I read it too, and found it to be a very enjoyable children's book. It's very age appropriate and my daughter does read it, even though she's also a major Disney devotee and is practically glued to her television. In this adorable series five girls take ballet and spend almost all their time hanging out at Bianca Best's fabulous house, when they're not in ballet learning pointe. In this story one girl has a dancing injury which takes her out of ballet. Her new best friends rally to get her back in ballet, and it's very heartwarming as well as very humorous all throughout. This mom approves.
