The beloved Drina Series

Drina starts at the Dominick school, and her life as a ballerina seems to be on it's proper path. She also is offered a role in a play, and life is good. This is the first book of the Drina series I read, and it hooked me almost from the start. I love all 11 books. If you ever liked dance, or dreamed of becoming a dancer, or you just want a wonderful book to read, I highly recommend this one.

Drina's Dancing Year

This book, this series, is the most satisfying set of books I have ever read. I am 23 and I still pick them up regularly

Moving, realistic, well wriiten, best books I have read.

Jean Estoril's Drina books are very well written. All details are taken into account. Following Andrina Adamo's life from an insignificant, yet hard working little girl, to a succesful woman, is a very moving and enchanting experience. Every book contains more excitement than the one before it. One child's determination to reach the top in these books is depicted to perfection. Her joy, anxiety, hope, success and failure enables people of all ages to relate to her. I actually dread finishing this series because I enjoy them so much.

Drina's second book

Drina, after finding out who her mother is, starts dancing with her Grandmother's permission. She worries about getting in the Dominick Dance School, a very elite dance school. By the end of the book, Drina also becomes an actress. This is a wonderful book.

'Lovely' is the only word to describe it!

This is the second book in the 'Drina' series and it's even better than the first. In fact, each of the books in this series is better than the one before it! If you love ballet, and wish to follow the hopes and dreams of Andrina Adamo, then read the 'Drina' books, the best books I have ever read!!!
