Book Description
A stunning concertina detailing a night at the Ballet, which anyone with an interest in the performing arts will love! Based on a performance of Tchaikovsky's Swan Lake, the images are not only inspired by the dramatic story but also the atmosphere of a working dance venue. On one side, we see the pristine theatre, audience and performance, and on the other side, in a world away from the delicate presentation of the front stage, the back-stage bustle and nerves. A beautiful concertina that can be read as a book or displayed on a mantle piece, or even framed as a print. Suitable for all ages.

Book Description
Aislin wakes up alone and injured in a foreign country. When Maeve receives a phone call that her identical twin is being held in a Canadian hospital and investigated by officials as to what she is doing over the border without identification, she and her parents rush to pick her up before the sun rises and Aislin's secret is revealed. Because of a centuries old curse, Aislin transforms into a swan when the sun rises. Maeve has her work cut out for her performing her sister's community service hours during the day, taking Aislin's SATs, maintaining her own social life, and trying to find Aislin's true love-the only way to break the curse. When Aislin begins college early and meets Nate, she starts to live less daylight hours as a swan and realizes that she is falling in love with him. Maeve and Aislin are overjoyed that the curse has been broken, and Aislin finally starts participating in everything she has missed out on over the years. When Maeve finds a swan in her sister's bed one morning, she realizes the prince might not be the hero of this fairytale.

Book Description
A teenage ballet dancer struggles to find her next step, and her place in the world, in this exquisite graphic memoir—a follow-up to the Sibert Honor–winning To Dance. All her life, Siena has dreamed of being a ballerina. Her love of movement and dedication to the craft earned her a spot at the School of American Ballet, with hopes of becoming a member of George Balanchine’s world-famous New York City Ballet company. Siena has worked hard for many years to be a professional ballet dancer, but injury and doubt are starting to take their toll. Maybe it’s time to look beyond the world of dance—but Siena’s whole identity has been shaped by ballet. When you have spent your entire life working toward something, how do you figure out what comes next? And how do you figure out who you are without the thing that defined you? This is a moving and beautifully drawn memoir of a dancer struggling to find her next step—and a young woman finding her true footing in the world.
