Synopsis
When Holly is given a pair of red ballet shoes by Rosa, little does she know - they are magic! She finds herself transported to the magical world of Enchantia where she meets the beautiful White Cat, who promises to be her guide. It isn't until he goes missing that Holly realises just how important and special he really is. Can she solve the mystery and save the White Cat or is he lost in time forever?
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 thirteenth book in the Magic Ballerina series - and the first book about Holly's magical adventures in Enchantia.
Holly doesn't seem to be good at making friends and seems to be really moody at the beginning of the book. But in the end she apologised to Chloe for the way she acted and they became friends afterall.
I like the way this new series is a little bit different to the other books because the new helper in Enchantia is a magical White Cat rather than a fairy. Holly and the White Cat are very similar in that they're both scared of things like being up high but they both end up being risk takers in order to help their friend.
