A STANDING OVATION FOR TORI!!!

Dance becomes a language and language becomes a dance in Kat Corbett's exciting sequel to First-String Future. Tori tests her own wings, first as she helps heal a family's pain by becoming their lost daughter, Heather, in a brilliant dance she helps choreograph, and later by flying to Russia to visit her pen-pal, a dance student at the school of the world-famous Maryinsky Theatre Ballet. Here, the streets of St. Petersburg come alive as Tori falls in love with her new "family." Granny tells a heart-wrenching story of how she was separated from her family as a child in World War II, and Tori takes to heart the Russian adage that bread stands for all the things you need and salt for all the things to make life happy. Tori's love of animals shines alongside her love of dance, and by standing up for her convictions, she inspires others to do the same. Then, on a day of miracles, she transforms herself from a "frog princess" into a "swan princess."

What a beautiful and touching story!! This book helped me understand and appreciate how different school, ballet training, and life in general is for a teenager in Russia compared to what it is like for me here in the United States.
