Georgia loves ballet and gets the chance to attend an academy that eats, sleeps and breathes ballet. This gives her a change to get away from her home life where her parents marriage is falling apart. I would give this novel 2 stars out of 5, it was written well but the story lacked so much depth I was left wondering a great amount when I finished. She makes a big mistake as teenage girls often do, they mis-read situations but she doesn't seem to come out having learned anything from it.
"
Trapped between the hormone-driven world of her friends and the discontent of her dysfunctional family, fourteen-year-old Georgia is only completely at ease when she's dancing. When she is accepted into Canada's preeminent ballet school, Georgia thinks it is the perfect escape. Artistic Director Roderick Allen singles her out as a star, subjecting her to increasingly intensive training, and Georgia obsesses about becoming the perfect, disciplined student. But as she spends more and more time with Roderick, it's not so clear exactly what their relationship means. Is he her teacher and mentor, or is there something more? These blurred lines will threaten both Roderick's future at the academy and Georgia's ambitions as a ballerina."
