A teenage ballet dancer struggles to find her next step, and her place
in the world, in this exquisite graphic memoir--a follow-up to the
Sibert Honor-winning To Dance.
All her life, Siena has dreamed of being a ballerina. Her love of
movement and dedication to the craft earned her a spot at the School of
American Ballet, with hopes of becoming a member of George Balanchine's
world-famous New York City Ballet company. Siena has worked hard for
many years to be a professional ballet dancer, but injury and doubt are
starting to take their toll.
Maybe it's time to look beyond the world of dance--but Siena's whole
identity has been shaped by ballet. When you have spent your entire life
working toward something, how do you figure out what comes next? And how
do you figure out who you are without the thing that defined you? This
is a moving and beautifully drawn memoir of a dancer struggling to find
her next step--and a young woman finding her true footing in the world.
