This is a story about a Cuban-American girl who’s just trying to fit in with her ballet-loving family and white friends. I love books about dance, being a dancer myself, and I love middle grade novels. Especially ones that focus on diversity and fitting in so I had high hopes for this book. It definitely did not disappoint. I found it so so so great and I think it would be a great addition to classrooms regardless of the age group. I loved every character, but especially Laurita, who spoke her truth always. This is a really important read for the younger readers. I really recommend it.
