On Pointe
by: Lori Ann Grover
The book was simpy amazing! It is written in verse and narrated by the protagonist, Clare Moller. Her dream is to dance in the City Ballet Company and for years she had strived towards that goal, watching all she does, practicing, waiting for her chance to audition... and finally, soon the day is to arrive. But doubt creeps into her mind, what if she can't? What if she doesn't make it and she can't be a dancer?
Lori Ann has crafted a beautiful novel of pain and beauty and grace as well. Of coming to grips with one-self and learning to accept loss and the new things along the way you learn through it. I recommend it well, not just for dancers or lovers of ballet, but for all those who have lost something. On Pointe teaches you that yes, lost is inevitable and things may never turn out like you want them to be; but along the way you can find something you never knew before and come out better than what you would been.
