(3) YA Although Giselle's choreographer father died ten years ago, the aspiring ballet dancer has always felt closer to him than to her glamorous ballerina mother. A romance with thoughtful suburbanite Will forces Giselle to confront the truth about her father's illness and abusiveness. The cultured Manhattan setting; its sophisticated, well-drawn characters; and a strong plot elevate Giselle's story above run-of-the-mill ballet novels.
