(4) YA At age fourteen, Olympia Dowd was one of two Vancouver dancers plucked from obscurity to dance with the Moscow City Ballet on an international tour. Assisted by color photos of performances and rehearsals, Dowd tells the story of her grueling but rewarding year on tour. Ballet fans will enjoy living Dowd's glamorous life vicariously, but the book may be a harder sell for those not already ballet-mad.
