Product Description
Mid-semester brings with it the results of the girls’ appraisals, and though every student at The Royal Ballet School is talented, not everyone has what it takes to go all the way. Although Ellie passes her appraisal with flying colors, everyone at school is tense with worry that one of them won’t make it. Ellie is especially concerned when Sophie returns and just doesn’t seem to be acting like herself. What will happen if one of the girls is assessed out? What will they have to fall back on?
Reader ReviewsEllie and her ballet friends returned to The Royal Ballet School's Lower School after a half term break. During the break the girls found out about the results of their appraisals. Hard working and talented Ellie easily passes her appraisal, yet she worries that some of her other friends, particularly Sophie, might not make it. Ellie's concern is deepens when Sophie returns and just doesn't seem to be acting like herself. Good old Ellie tries to help Sophie is whatever way she can, all the while working hard at her own ballet. This is another wonderful ballet story that will entertain anyone, but especially young ballet students. As I stated in my reviews of the previous books, the only negativeI can make, is that it can sometimes sound like an advertisement of the R.B.S., which is fine, but can be annoying at times.
