Middle grade fiction can really pack a punch!

When a big move creates some big feelings for Lindsay, she finds herself in the middle of a new dance studio, but something isn’t quite right about it. Little by little she figures it out, hopefully in time to save her sister from the danger she’s found herself in!

This is a story about the power of jealousy, greed and love. It’s many lessons wrapped up in a perfect chapter book with magical music boxes! 

This is a quick read with everything needed to make a solid middle grade novel. The chapters are the perfect length for that age group and they’re each packed with enough action and/or mystery to keep the readers attention. I really enjoyed it. 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
