Customer comments on this selection.
 UR RIGHT BALLET FRIENDS IS WAY COOLER!!!!
I read the other review and checked out the new BALLET FRIENDS BOOKS series on their site balletfriendsbooks. Thanx for the heads up!! It's SO COOL!!! I spent all night checking out all the cool stuff, reading about the books, and groovin to the free tunes. The site's really pretty too!! It's all Hello Kitty and butterflies. Anyway i don't care for Royal Ballet books at all. I got one for Christmas and was very disappointed. It was like preachy and stuck up and i hated all the issues the author tried to push. It was so annoying. Ballet Friends Books is like the opposite cause it's all about having fun and giving the readers what they want. I can't wait to get my hands on it!!!!!
 BALLET FRIENDS IS BETTER
The Royal Ballet books are OK but sorta boring. I do ballet and like to read so I've been looking for books about dance. Today I was really surprised when I found the web site for a new series called Ballet Friends. It looks awsome and really really funny!! They got tons of cool stuff like funny stories and quizes like in J-14. It's also got free music like Justin Timberlake and Gwen Stefani. [...]
I'm gonna preorder my copy real soon. I can't wait to read it!!!
 Another great installment
Ellie and her ballet friends returned to The Royal Ballet School's Lower School after a half term break. During the break the girls found out about the results of their appraisals. Hard working and talented Ellie easily passes her appraisal, yet she worries that some of her other friends, particularly Sophie, might not make it. Ellie's concern is deepens when Sophie returns and just doesn't seem to be acting like herself. Good old Ellie tries to help Sophie is whatever way she can, all the while working hard at her own ballet. This is another wonderful ballet story that will entertain anyone, but especially young ballet students. As I stated in my reviews of the previous books, the only negative comment I can make, is that it can sometimes sound like an advertisement of the R.B.S., which is fine, but can be annoying at times.
 THE BEST BOOK EVER!
I absolutly LOVE these books! Not just Sophie's Flight to Fancy, but all of them! In fact, I just finished reading #4 today, and I was sad that it was over. (And no, not sad because Sophie is leaving)Every time I finish these books, I wish I had them all so I could just keep reading. I'll be sitting in school wondering when the next possible chance to read them will be. It's espeically interesting because I am a dancer, as well. Reading about the dance classes was my favorite part. Moss put it into so much detail, that I felt as if I was there. (Now I have a craving for fish and chips, even though I hate fish and chips! She just made it sound so good, that it made my mouth water)And I'm not the only one who says this. My entire dance class, plus some of my friends read these books. We adore them! But they don't just appeal to dancers. If you are not a dancer, or if you know little about dancing, Moss has a handy Glossary in the back of the book, explaining the common terms used. As for Sophie leaving, it is sad, but that's what makes it so good! That's what keeps it interesting. Now I can't wait to read #5 because I am wondering who will replace her, if they'll still keep in touch, ect. This book get a 5-star rating, no doubt about it. I really hope she writes more, because I'm already on the 5th book!
 Sophie's Not Coming Back, Oh No!!
Reporter's Opinion: I thought that this book was sad because I really hoped that Sophie would win the choreography competition and be allowed back into the Royal Ballet School. She didn't get let back in.
Summary: It was a week after the appraisals and they all passed it, but Sophie didn't. She was appraised out. Sophie is only going to stay in the Royal Ballet School until the summer. They all soon found out that there would be a choreography competition. Sophie and Grace both entered and they both passed. The winner was Grace, but the judges made an honorable mention to Sophie's dance; Flight of Fancy. At the end of the year, Sophie leaves to start her new Performing Arts School.
My least favorite part was when Sophie had to go. She was my favorite character in the story!!
