Customer comments on this selection.
 Check out Ballet Friends if you like ballet
I have this book. I don't know why everyone likes it. It's boring and dull, and not funny. There's this new series called Ballet Friends, and I got book one as soon as it came out. It's called Ballet Friends: Get to the Point! and is WAY better! The characters are real and totally entertaining. It's all laughs, laughs, laughs. I have the sequel on order (Ballet Friends 2: The Rise of Beezilla), and it sounds hysterical! Trust me, Ballet Friends is the way to go!
 very good sequel
In the second chapter of The Royal Ballet School (R.B.S.) Diaries, Ellie has made it into the R.B.S.'s Lower School. She describes all of her classes and ballet moves with superb details. She has made great friends with all of the other students, except for Lara, a fact that Ellie tries to change. Ellie shows her fantastic qualities of hard work, determination, and compassion. A wonderful lesson is mixed in with a very good ballet story. Ellie is an amazing example for any young girl, but especially ballerinas. The only negative comment I can make of the book, is that it can sometimes come off as an advertisement of the R.B.S., which is fine, but can be annoying at times.
 Lara's Leap Of Faith
When Ellie arrives at the Royal Ballet School she easily becomes friends with all of the year 7 girls except for Lara. Ellie tries to get along with her but Lara doesn't welcome her offer. One day in Ballet class Ms.Wells anounces that there will be Nutcracker try-outs. Of course everyone is excited but not everyone will be selected to perform. However Lara and Ellie are two of the girls picked and are both given the same part. Lara was scheduled to perform on December 12th and Ellie was scheduled to perform on December 1st. But when Ellie finds out that she told her family that she was performing on the 12th instead of the 1st she is worried. Her mother's wedding was on the same day that she was performing. How would she ever be able to be at both events? But Lara is nice enough to switch show dates to resolve Ellie's problem. Without Lara it would have NEVER worked out.
THIS BOOK IS SO TOTALLY COOL!! IT IS A MUST TO READ!!
Reporter's Opinion: I think that that this is a great book for all girls, especially girls that are into ballet.
Summary: Ellie made it into the Royal Ballet School! She gets to do ballet everyday, but she has to do regular school work, too. She becomes really good friends with all of her dorm mates, except for Lara. At the tryouts, Ellie by accidentally bumped into Lara, and Lara thought Ellie was just trying to mess up her chances of getting into the Royal Ballet School. But soon they got it straightened out. They also got to try out for The Nutcracker. Bryony, Lara, and Ellie were chosen to be party children in it! When Ellie e-mails everybody about the great news, she typed the wrong date! She was dancing on the 1st, but she e-mailed that she was dancing on the 12th! So, when her mom called her, saying that she is getting married on the 1st and everyone bought tickets to see her on the 12th, Ellie finds herself in a big mess! She talked to Rose (the organizer,) and gets everything straightened out. She didn't even mess up once!
wow
Ellie is at RBS lower school! She loves it there. But there are two problems:
1. She is not the best in her class at RBS.
2. Lara, a roomate, hates her.
What is Ellie going to do?
