When Aya stumbles across a local ballet class, the formidable dance teacher spots her exceptional talent and believes that Aya has the potential to earn a prestigious ballet scholarship. But at the same time, Aya and her family must fight to be allowed to remain in the country, to make a home for themselves and to find Aya’s father – separated from the rest of the family during the journey from Syria.

This book made me feel Curious, Intrigued
This is a phenomenal book. Quite emotional but amazing. It goes back in time to when the war was going on and we see more into how Aya left Syria. I cried a few times; happy and sad tears. Overall a fabulous book. Well done Catherine Bruton!
