Dance of the Innocents

By Michelle Huirama

What do you do when the music disappears?

Nine-year-old Scarlett lives for dance, spinning through sunlit hallways with joy and grace-until war arrives and her world crumbles. Forced into hiding with her mother and younger brother, Scarlett's days are filled with silence, shadows, and fear.

But then she meets Daisy, a quiet girl who doesn't speak much but knows everything about surviving. Together, the two girls form a bond sealed by a red ribbon and a whisper of a plan. As the world outside grows more dangerous, they must summon all their courage to seek something more: escape, freedom, and the chance to dance again.

Dance of the Innocents is a poignant and powerful novel about resilience, friendship, and finding hope in the darkest of places.
