Drina
is off on an exciting trip to New York, travelling by sea on the Queen
of the Atlantic. Any regrets she has about missing a few weeks atrhe
Dominick Ballet School soon vanish as she finds new opportunities to
dance 1 and experiences the pangs of first love!
Nayuleska's thoughts.
On
realising this was the book with the cruise ship I was very excited
when I started reading. I'd forgotten all the details but they slowly
returned as I read on. Drina has the lesson of accepting situations and
being away from school reinforced. She takes it in her stride and much
to her grandmother's annoyance manages to find quite a few chances to
dance. She even choreographs one! Both of those signs point to the
making of a prima ballerina. Still enamoured with this series, it's fun
to watch how Drina & Grant, her future husband, get to know one
another in this 10/10 read.
Suggested read
Make sure you read all the Drina books including the previous in the series, Drina Dances Again.
