Fiona Finkelstein: Big-Time Ballerina! by Shawn K. Stout - ADVISABLE


Stout, Shawn K. Fiona Finkelstein: Big-Time Ballerina! Pgs. 166 Aladdin, 2009 $4.99 Content, PG.  Fiona loves to dance and is very talented, but she has a severe case of stage-fright.  Her dance studio has been offered an opportunity to dance with the Nutcracker, but Fiona hesitates because of her fears.  She does everything she can to overcome her fear, such as imagining the audience in their underpants.  When she finally feels as though she has overcome her fears she decides that she brings destruction wherever she goes.  In order to get over her next mental block she ends up helping her dad at his job as a weather forecaster.  Cute characters and great life lessons learned.  The main character deals with her parents living in separate cities because of their jobs and has an embarrassing little brother.  She also deals with a fight with her best friend.  EL-ADVISABLE.  Reviewer, C. Peterson.
