About this audiobook
Aspiring artists—their grit, passion, and determination to achieve—are at the heart of this unforgettable novel.
Anna Forester is an intelligent and sensitive sixteen-year-old at the top of her local ballet school in Illinois. She arrives at the bottom of the prestigious School of Ballet New York in Manhattan, where she joins an elite group of teens who see themselves as the ballet stars of the next generation, racing to impress their famous teachers and win a coveted professional contract. Over the next two years, Anna’s struggles to navigate friendships with her rivals, stand out in a world dictated by conformity, and pursue her passions converge into a high-stakes portrait of a young dancer following their dreams.
