Complete Ballet Stories

A book which captures the passions and obsessions in the lives of hopeful young dancers. Rose and Nicola Bruce are two talented but very different sisters who have to overcome the problems of jealousy and uncertainty before thay can begin to realise their ambitions, while Jamie Carr faces the problem of unexpectedly getting involved in the world of ballet and having to face his friends at school. In Star Turn, Karen Anders and Jessamy Hart face true tests of their determination and dedication. Three star-struck tales written with warmth and understanding and bound into one inspiring volume. A treat for all true ballet lovers.

Reviews

A writer of wild humour

—— Oxford Companion to Children's Literature

Emil is a wonder... the book had, and still has, the effect of making me feel part of Emil's little gang of boys... Emil and the Detectives is a little masterpiece... Read it and you will be happy

—— Maurice Sendak

The main pleasure of the book is in the way in which it plays to the fantasy of omnipotence in a child: that a team of kids could really organise themselves into a team of detectives and catch a thief

—— Michael Rosen , Guardian

The perfect introduction to the world of fictional crime detection

—— Independent

Robert Swindells writes the kinds of books that are so scary you're afraid to turn the page

—— Daily Telegraph
