About the Author
Darcey Bussell is a world famous Prima Ballerina. She joined the Royal Ballet School when she was 13 and, despite starting later than most of the other students, became a Principal of the Royal Ballet at just 19, at the same time the youngets ballerina ever to be given this honour. Darcey received both the OBE and CBE awards during her time with the Royal Ballet, and since officially retiring in 2007 she has teamed up with Katherine Jenkins in the phenomenally successful Viva la Diva. She is married with two daughters.
Review
This is the ninth book in the Magic Ballerina series - and the third book about Rosa's magical adventures in Enchantia.
I really liked this story because I just had my ballet and jazz exams and it reminded me of how I felt. I was really nervous and made one mistake in my ballet exam but I still got merit so I knew that Rosa could still do well too.
I thought it was really funny when Nutmeg made King Rat dance even though he didn't want to. And I loved the way he even started to like dancing. I just wish Nutmeg's spell would last forever.
I also liked the arm exercises at the back of the book - it's lots of fun to swoosh your arm around pretending to be the First Fairy waving her magic wand.
