Aus dem Klappentext: The Only Boy in Ballet Class

Denise Eliana GruskaIllustrations by Amy Wummer

Tucker doesn't walk to school-he gets there using pas de bourree . And he doesn't drag his feet when his mom asks him to set the table. Instead, he does it in releve, balancing a plate on his head for practice. Tucker doesn't run to escape his annoying younger twin sisters, Blanche and Edie-he jetes past them.

Tucker Dohr loves to dance. His passion is ballet. When he gets to Madame Clara's Dance Studio and takes off his shoes and pulls on his very worn-out ballet slippers, he jumps so high it feels like flying and everything in the world makes sense.

And even though some people don't understand his passion-including Uncle Frank and the boys on the football field-the chance is coming for Tucker to prove to everyone just how great ballet can be!
