This engrossing new fiction series follows the fortunes and crises of a group of students at an inner-city, multicultural ballet school as they contend with the pressures of dancing, form friendships, and try to discover their place in the world. The first book follows the journey of a boy dancer, Peter, as he struggles with being bullied by his peers over his passion and considers giving up ballet, until a chance encounter with a dog and a famous footballer works to change his perspective. Touching on many of the concerns and interests that occupy children in contemporary Britain, these stories will thrill, move and fascinate young readers.
