Children's Classics and Modern Classics: Dancing Shoes [Paperback] Streatfeild, Noel

Rachel and Hilary are fossils of a different kind — not literally ancient, but shaped by duty and dreams in equal measure. When their guardian uncle dies, the girls are sent to live with their formidable aunt, a former ballerina who runs a dancing school. Rachel is a natural, all grace and ambition. Hilary? She'd rather be anywhere else. Noel Streatfeild, who gave us *Ballet Shoes*, returns to the world of stage children with her signature warmth and sharp eye for sibling dynamics. This is a story about finding your own path when everyone expects you to follow someone else's steps. For readers who loved the Fossil sisters or anyone navigating the gap between what you're good at and what you actually want. Streatfeild never sugarcoats the work behind the spotlight, and that's exactly why her books endure.
