3 stars: Good/solid/fine
This is the second book in a series that focuses on each of the three younger sisters in turn (the oldest sister had her own series). Ashton is a dancer. When she hears her best friend might be moving away, she determines that dancing in the school talent show together will help convince the girl's parents to stay, at least to the end of the year. I was happy the adults in Ashton's life challenged this idea while still letting the girls move forward with the dance preparations. Ashton was challenged to consider the move from God's perspective, that maybe God has plans for her friend's family through this move.

There's a TON of friendship conflict in the book - power struggles in the dance rehearsals, hurt/jealous feelings about new friends, etc. I didn't always care for the crew of girls in this, but I did like that Ashton's family coached her and encouraged her to pray about the conflicts, but they didn't fix anything for her.

There were two pieces that didn't click for me in this. (1) This is a first person POV story, but there were several times when Ashton ascribed feelings and thoughts to other characters that she couldn't possibly have known from what was in the book. (2) At the end, one of the girls is pretty heartless to the newcomer, Jasmyn, who is in a wheelchair. While Ashton pursues reconciliation, and the other character apologizes for what she SAID (that crochet is stupid, etc.) she didn't really apologize for what she DID (deliberately running to the upper floors of the home where Jasmyn couldn't go as a way to exclude her). Her actions would be far more hurtful than what she said. And I can't imagine how a child in a wheelchair - or a friend or family member of a child in a wheelchair - would feel reading that and not seeing it addressed and resolved.

There's a dearth of quality middle grade and YA Christian fiction, so I wouldn't set this aside because of those issues when there are other pieces of this that are fine. But the second point is one where I would urge caution or have conversation with readers about what they noticed in those scenes, how Jasmyn might have felt, and what they would have done differently.

Ashton, 10, is learning how to work with a team to achieve her goals. The three sisters are learning to rebuild their lives without their mother. Ashton is in love with dancing. Her best friend Rana is moving away to London. Aston wants her friends to join in the talent show. In the story, you will journey through their relationships. I really enjoyed the story. I like how the author incorporated the characters as Christians and was a praying family. This is a story about friendship, the bond between siblings, family love, and cooperation. I recommend this book to young girls who love to dance. I give it five stars.

Ashton has a twin Amber. She loves to dance. Cammie is her nickname. I didn't think the tone was too cutesy. I liked the dialogue. I liked Ashton. Cute story
