Ten-year-old Ellie Brown is an American girl living in London. For Ellie, ballet isn't just a dream, it's become a way of life. She's danced for almost as long as she can remember and started ballet lessons when she was four. Now Ellie is presented with the opportunity of a lifetime-a chance to audition for a spot to dance with the Royal Ballet. But Ellie knows that even if she won a place, it would mean moving to London and leaving her ill-stricken mother behind with no one to care for her. When the day of the audition finally arrives, Ellie must decide between pursuing her dreams or sacrificing her goals of joining the Royal Ballet to be with her mother. What will Ellie do?

I really enjoyed this book! I know it's just a short children's book, but I thought it was interesting to read about a 10 year old who moves from Chicago to Oxford. I have also never read anything about ballet before, so that was interesting, too. I look forward to the rest in the series.

OMG, I love this book. Read along as Ellie Brown, a want-to-be Royal Ballet School student, gets to audition. Some mishaps, some wonderful things, and some downright terrible things, meet Ellie along the way. Also, the other books are great to.

Recently remembered this series from when I read it back in middle school & decided to give it another go. I loved it then & I love it now. Its not too much ballet talk that it overpowers the plot and I love that. The author really captures a balance between each story line.

The Royal Ballet School Diaries fulfilled all of my childhood fantasies about training to be a prima ballerina with a group of like-minded people who were going after the exact same dream. Ellie is an American in London, auditioning for the Royal Ballet’s elite training program for young dancers: it’s a big. deal. Perhaps a bit on the young side, this series offers a truly spot-on perspective of a developing dancer on her way to stardom and a lovely look into the mind of a young girl as she pursues her dreams.
