I wont give too much away, but the plot is basically... Great. Alyssa is a ballet dancer, and there is a production going on- the Nutcracker. Everyone knows that Fawn, the oldest and by far best dancer of her age group, will get the lead. Fawn is Mrs. Nadine`s favorite, but Alyssa has other things to worry about. Her bestest friend is in the hospital, and Alyssa seems to be the only one able to reach her. Ellen's mom is desperate to get Ellen back,but if she misses 3 rehearsals, she wont get a part! And there`s Judaism to worry about, her Rabbi wants Alyssa to join the confirmation class, he wont give up! Read this to find out if Ellen gets out of the hospital, and if Alyssa gets a part!

This book was incredibly special to me because I also missed dance classes that all my friends did for Hebrew school. But this book showed me it's worth it and it made me feel so much more happy and proud to be Jewish and be happy to go to Hebrew school.

I love to dance you will after reading this too

As a 11 year old dancer, I looked up to Alyssa as a role model for my dancing career. totally recommend!

This book is such an amazing book! I loved reading it and going through the journey with Alyssa. It had the perfect amount of heartbreak and happiness and funny jokes and remarkes to make readers happy. This book made me think about friendship and how a simple thing can mean a lot to someone. Alyssa is a true friend and whenever I read about the things she would do for Ellen I am be touched. I also really loved how nice and sweet the book was. It truly made me smile.Even though this book was really good I wish it could be a little longer. I also think it should fit the title and description a little more. Last but not least I wish it had a little more information about Judaism. Thank you PJ OUR WAY for letting me read this book (I couldn't put it down). I really enjoyed it and I can't wait to read it again.
