This book takes us back to the level of the first two, in my opinion. Not only is Drina back to her normal self - except for maybe a chapter and a half of undue wallowing - but it also introduces two new characters I love - Ilonka and Igor. Ilonka is a refugee from a fictional country under Soviet rule behind the old Iron Curtain, which creates the only semi-political sub-plot in the entire series. Igor is the son of the director of Drina's ballet school, and the company into which she hopes to be accepted. I didn't quite understand my attraction to this character when I first read the series, but being older it's obvious that I was hoping he'd become a romantic interest for Drina. This book also marks the first introduction of Drina's Italian relations, and watching her discover a heritage that had been completely hidden from her was very satisfying.

Ich hatte als Kind auch eine Ballettphase, wenn auch nur über Bücher ;) die Cindy-Bücher fand ich damals alle super und hab mir eines nach dem anderen von der Omi schenken lassen oder selbst vom Taschengeld gekauft. Ich fand auch alle Cover so toll, ich hab die immer bewundert. (Bei dem hier war ich ein wenig enttäuscht, weil nichts besonders "ballettartiges" dabei war.)

Gerade habe ich gesehen, dass sie im Englischen "Drina" heisst ... wer kommt bitteschön auf die Idee, jemand von Drina nach Cindy zu übersetzen für den deutschen Buchmarkt? Wieso nicht gleich Steffi oder Lisa? ^^

Enjoyable story, lovely descriptions of Italy which brought back happy memories of our visit there in 2012.

I had not read the Drina books since I was a child and I recently re-read them all. I read the first 5 as a child and then as a teen I hunted down the final 6 once I realized they existed. I am happy to say that for the most part they hold up to the test of time. They are very much in the style of British school stories but I quite like those. I think the whole series is definitely worth the effort it takes to hunt them down.
