Toujours aussi passionnées par la danse, Julie, Luce et Alia tentent sans cesse de nouvelles expériences : alors qu’Alia se met à organiser des Flash Mob Dance, Luce parvient même à danser en faisant du babysitting ! Puis, quelques semaines avant Noël, les trois filles reçoivent une lettre de Prune, une amie qui les invite à Londres. Mais il ne s’agit pas vraiment de vacances, car elles vont participer à une audition pour obtenir les premiers rôles dans une comédie musicale…
I'm not in love with the books but Miss 7 is enjoying them. We read Books 4, 5, 6 as part of a combined volume. The girls dance in Paris, Russia, and England. Mostly things are light hearted and revolve around dance (and fashion). Carla, as ever, remains a one-dimensional villain. I talk with Miss while reading them about why it's not okay (or funny) for the book to repeatedly show girls slapping boys in the faces when they get annoyed. We also discuss some of the more sexist messages in the book (like soccer is for boys, or that girls can't be book-smart as well as pursue a creative calling).
Miss 7 and I like to explore different books and authors at the library, sometimes around particular topics or themes. We try to get different ones out every week or so; it's fun for both of us to have the variety and to look at a mix of new & favourite authors.
The more of these I read, the more I hate them. The almost normal-sized girl got smaller, I think. All the women are super booby. Every time there is food, the almost normal-sized girl is involved. All of the girls are depicted as ditzy-- even if they have other characteristics. And such positive characteristics they are-- whiny, hungry, scheming, boy-crazy.
An old white couple calls the cops on a black couple, the parents of one of the ballerinas, because they are in the hallway of their apartment building. Accurate to real life, right? They get hauled in by the cops and everything. But it's intended as humor? No thank you.
It was pretty good. The drawings were interesting. There were three different stories, but I only read the first one since it took place around Christmas. The girls travel to London to be a part of this modern day rendition of a Christmas carol. Their arch enemy follows them to London to try and sabotage it, but it all works out in the end. B-
For most of this one, the story is very focused on the girls going to try out and then dance in the winter ballet. There were a few stand alone pages, but most of this book was linked and told the one story rather than a bunch.
very good Book I love the Christmas details the you know at outfits for it and I love that they went with the classical Nutcracker it was a little rude or a bit but it got better it is a very great series I give it 4 stars

This was a pleasant surprise for me. I'm not exactly into girly-girl, princess type stories so a ballet themed series did not seem like it would be my cup of tea but I found this highly enjoyable, witty and well-written. I really enjoyed the presentation also. The first entire half of the book contains the titular story which has the girls travelling to England to participate in a musical that is very loosely based on Dickens' "Christmas Carol". The second half of the book is comprised of approx. 3-page random comic strips with an occasional returning sketch of a repeated attempt at a flash mob. These were humorous and amused me greatly. Girls who like dance will love this and boys also as there is always a boy participant in the dance group, which one of the girls will crush on. The cast is also diverse including (along with the boy dancer) African-Americans, a plump dancer, an obviously gay director, a single dad and divorced parents.
