Sugar Plum Ballerina’s is about a girl named Alexandra who HATES ballet. She does NOT want to be a beautiful ballerina and she does NOT want to leave her friends in Apple Creek.

Alexandra’s ballet-crazy mother makes her move to Harlem, New York and signs her up for ballet at The Nutcracker School of Ballet. She thinks she’s a terrible dancer and will do really bad at the big recital because of her stage-fright. She already embarrassed herself from her big, puffy tutu falling off and tripping on her ballet shoes when doing leaps. Alexandra is going to need a lot of help for her rotten stage-fright and for proving herself that she can be a Sugar Plum Ballerina!

The main characters in this book are Alexandra, Epatha who speaks Spanish, Terrell, and Brenda who says everything backwards.

What I think will happen next is that Alexandra will start to like ballet, she will make lots of friends and will get rid of her stage-fright 🙂
