(3) YA Sixteen-year-old Sylvie ditches her ballet training to search for her older sister Julia, a former ballerina who left town after a career-ending injury. Along the way, Sylvie sees mysterious fairy-tale visions, deals with her own uncertainties about ballet, and falls in love. McNally's prose is an intoxicating blend of witty, magical, and melancholy. The fairy-tale theme entwines gracefully with real-life hope and heartbreak, making this a poignant read.
