Critics Review
“Fluid linework and a pastel palette evoke the strength and grace of the dancers, resulting in an eloquent and movement-filled portrait of ambition and self-discovery.” —Publishers Weekly
“A beautifully illustrated story full of angst, humor, and heart.” —Kirkus Reviews
“This fast-paced graphic novel touches on a less-explored demographic of ballerinas and dancers….readers are immersed in an intense story of competition, proving oneself, rivalry, and secrets.” —School Library Journal
“While focusing on ballet, the themes of rivalry, friendship, and perseverance will relate across interests. For fans of stories about dance, sportsmanship, and enemies to friends.” —Booklist
