It's not often you get a ballet book about a boy - or at least with a boy as the central character. And Doone is thoroughly engaging (unlike his monstrous sister) and you're rooting for him as he tries to follow his dream and over come all the obstacles in his path. I haven't read a lot of Rumer Godden's books, but this is a cracker.
I will say however that I was thinking about lending this on to my niece - but I think it's a little too grown up for her. Young Adult really in the latter stages rather than 8-12.
