And the series makes good on its promise to be terrible. Less a properly fleshed-out book than a checklist of events that presumably happened in the television series. Lots of BIG DRAMATIC MOMENTS that aren't followed up on at all because there's another BIG DRAMATIC MOMENT on the horizon and it has to be chased. Also, who told these kids that Clara was the starring role of The Nutcracker? It's a role that's commonly held by kids who are, like, 9-12. If their school is telling them that this is a Big Freaking Deal and being Clara is going to catapult Tara or Abigail or whomever into major stardom, then...well...I have concerns about the reputability of the school...
