For fans of the classic novel Ballet Shoes, a coming-of-age dance story reimagined for a new generation.
As she begins 6th grade, Lauren Lightfoot wants nothing more than to get her first pair of pointe shoes, enjoy her love for ballet, and spend time with her friends. Lauren and her friends Bryan and Serena are challenged to define themselves both on stage and in the world when they audition for the Pacific Northwest Ballet School and compete for roles in the spring recital.

"The prose is beautiful, and the novel's themes of personal discovery, empathy, friendship, grief, and family dynamics are explored with subtlety and depth. Impossible to put down—even if ballet isn't your thing.
—Kirkus Reviews
"This is the ballet book I wish I could have read as a young ballet student."
—Megan Fairchild, principal dancer with New York City Ballet and author of The Ballerina Mindset
“I so wish that Lauren in the Limelight had been in my local library when I was a tween-ager... I would have loved loved loved to imagine myself Lauren then and I know that tweens—ballet fans or not—are going to love it now.”
—Nancy Pearl, author of the Book Lust series and George & Lizzie: A Novel
"Lauren in the Limelight promotes empathy and understanding, and deals with the crucial moments in life when we gain maturity, break from our parents’ version of us, and become ourselves.”
—Peter Boal, Artistic Director of Pacific Northwest Ballet and author of Illusions of Camelot
