A young dancer's journey through family secrets, self-discovery, and the magic of ballet in 1989 Minneapolis.

Eleven-year-old Gina loves ballet and her eccentric mother, Lily, a professional dancer. In the whirlwind of rehearsals, recitals, and new pointe shoes, Gina navigates the challenges of Catholic school, an absent father, and a changing neighborhood. As Gina prepares for her first performance in The Nutcracker, family secrets emerge, forcing her to confront difficult truths and embrace her own strength.

Guided by the wisdom of her unconventional family and the captivating world of ballet, Gina discovers the power of resilience, friendship, and the enduring magic of art.

This heartwarming coming-of-age story, set against the backdrop of 1989 Minneapolis, explores themes of family, identity, and the transformative power of art. Perfect for fans of ""Ballet Shoes"" and ""A Tree Grows in Brooklyn"", ""Pirouette"" is a captivating read for all ages.
