The third book of the award-winning and bestselling Sugar Plum
Ballerinas series by Whoopi Goldberg--now featuring brand-new
illustrations!
At the Nutcracker School of Ballet in Harlem, young dancers learn to
chassé, plié, and jeté with their Sugar Plum Sisters--but things don't
always go to plan! As the girls encounter challenges both on and off
stage, they'll need the support of their classmates to carry them
through with aplomb.
Perfectionistic Jerzey Mae desperately wants to be a ballet dancer. But
she's frustrated by her own lack of talent--and by her friends' jokes
about her terrible dancing. Things get even worse when her little
brother Mason attends her ballet class, totally embarrassing Jerzey in
front of her prima ballerina idol, Miss Camilla Freeman. When Jerzey
learns that Miss Camilla will be attending their recital, she's
determined not to make a fool of herself again. But her efforts to learn
her dance are continually thwarted--until she finds help in a very
unexpected place.
