ballet shoes

first comes Pauline, she was found on a sinking lifeboat and adopted by Great uncle Mathew who then sent her to live in his home in London. pauline then fell in to the care of his daughter Sylvia. then came Petrova. Petrova was orphaned in Russia and because Great uncle Mathew (GUM for short) was friends with her parents,  GUM decides to take her in to. And lastly comes polly. Polly's father just died and her mother is a dancer and has no time for children so GUM takes her in to.  the one thing that is different about Polly is that her mother sent her with a small pair of ballet slippers for when she grew older. as the girls age, it is decided that they will be sent to acting and dancing classes at an academy. as expected, Polly is wonderful at dancing, Pauline is a good actress, but Petrova cant seem to find a talent.

this charming story follows the three Fossil girls as they find there way through the ups and downs of their lives. this is a great story but I reocmend it to a younger audience. there is no mature language or topics.

  1. That sounds interesting. But I think it's too young for me...
