The fourth 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.
Terrel is always in charge, whether she's making lists for grocery
shopping (her favorite hobby, AFTER ballet), keeping her brothers in
line, or organizing father-daughter time in with her dad. Lately,
though, her dad's been acting a little strange--wearing new clothes and
way too much aftershave. Things get even weirder when he surprises
Terrel with his new girlfriend during a night out at the ballet - a
night that was supposed to be father-daughter time. What's more, his
"date" brought her niece along. A niece who turns out to be Terrel's
ballerina nemesis, Tiara Girl! With some Sugar Plum help, Terrel takes
charge of breaking up her father's new relationship.
