Reader ReviewsThis was a great book. Bess is helping out at the girls' old ballet school, Madam Dugrand's, making costumes for their upcoming production of The Nutcracker. The school is struggling financially and has asked Shana Edwards, an old student who has starred in New York, to perform as Sugar Plum Fairy. But while George & Nancy are visiting Bess at the school, a strange event takes place, leaving Shana injured. Nancy notices Darci Edwards, Shana's young sister, staring jealously from the sidelines. Darci is just as talented as Shana, but has to dance in the shadow of her older sister. A strange string of events follows, with Darci & Lawrence, Shana's dancer partner, looking suspicious. It keeps getting more dangerous... can Nancy, Bess & George save the school?
