About learning the real challenges of dance

Christine McDonnell's Ballet Bug tells of Bea, who thinks ballet is boring until a slumber party movie awakens her passion for dance. She enters a ballet class and learns the real challenges of dance as she struggles to catch up with her peers and faces a pair of vengeful twin competitors.

My 9 year old daughter never reads. I bought this book last week after "judging a book by its cover," the illustrations were fabulous. She has not put it down since! Great book for young readers.
