I have been looking for something light and fun to read. Something that wasn't over the top, but had detailed characters. I ran across this series and being a dance fan, fell in love with it.

I found this the perfect book for my needs. The characters are fun, the drama is age-appropriate, and it really gives people a good insight into the dance world. I absolutely LOVED IT.

I am really enjoying this series! I like how the girls give one another second chances and that home sickness and changing circumstances are talked about in a real way.

I don't usually read YA but this grabbed me with the Diary aspect. It was more a story than a diary but it was fine.

Somewhat mis-titled (the story is more about Ellie than Lara), this is the 2nd book in the Royal Ballet School Diaries series. Ellie, Lara, and the others are 1st year students at the Royal Ballet School. All 11 first year girls live in the same dorm room. The conflict in the plot is mainly between Ellie and Lara. Ellie accidentally knocked Lara over in their auditions in the spring and Lara still hasn’t forgiven her. Both Ellie and Lara are cast as party children in the Nutcracker. Ellie learns Lara is homesick and that’s why Lara has been acting so rude. They make up and Lara helps out when Ellie can’t dance one of her scheduled performances due to her mom’s wedding. A sub-plot involves how the distance that has grown between Ellie and her former-best-friend, Phoebe.
This is a fun book and a quick read.
