Amy's best friend's older sister, Claire, is an up-and-coming ballerina who seems to be deeply unhappy despite her success. Always ready to offer guidance, thirteen-year-old Amy and her eighteen-year-old aunt Clover, an advice columnist for a teen magazine, investigate what's behind her misery, traveling from Dublin to Budapest. Innocuous friend and family drama rounds out the lightweight but entertaining installment.
