Another great installment

Ellie and her ballet friends returned to The Royal Ballet School's Lower School after a half term break. During the break the girls found out about the results of their appraisals. Hard working and talented Ellie easily passes her appraisal, yet she worries that some of her other friends, particularly Sophie, might not make it. Ellie's concern is deepens when Sophie returns and just doesn't seem to be acting like herself. Good old Ellie tries to help Sophie is whatever way she can, all the while working hard at her own ballet. This is another wonderful ballet story that will entertain anyone, but especially young ballet students. As I stated in my reviews of the previous books, the only negative comment I can make, is that it can sometimes sound like an advertisement of the R.B.S., which is fine, but can be annoying at times.

THE BEST BOOK EVER!

I absolutly LOVE these books! Not just Sophie's Flight to Fancy, but all of them! In fact, I just finished reading #4 today, and I was sad that it was over. (And no, not sad because Sophie is leaving)Every time I finish these books, I wish I had them all so I could just keep reading. I'll be sitting in school wondering when the next possible chance to read them will be. It's espeically interesting because I am a dancer, as well. Reading about the dance classes was my favorite part. Moss put it into so much detail, that I felt as if I was there. (Now I have a craving for fish and chips, even though I hate fish and chips! She just made it sound so good, that it made my mouth water)And I'm not the only one who says this. My entire dance class, plus some of my friends read these books. We adore them! But they don't just appeal to dancers. If you are not a dancer, or if you know little about dancing, Moss has a handy Glossary in the back of the book, explaining the common terms used. As for Sophie leaving, it is sad, but that's what makes it so good! That's what keeps it interesting. Now I can't wait to read #5 because I am wondering who will replace her, if they'll still keep in touch, ect. This book get a 5-star rating, no doubt about it. I really hope she writes more, because I'm already on the 5th book!
