Summarise the story in four or five sentences!
Ballet Shoes is about three sisters called Pauline, who loves acting, Petrova, who spends most of her time fixing cars, and Posy, who would dance all day if se could! One day, they get asked by a lady called Theo Dane and she tells them she is a teacher at Madame Fidolia’s Academy of Dancing and Stage Training. They take part in lots of shows and at the end of the book, Pauline sets out to become a film star, Posy trains with the great dancer Manoff in Czechlovakia but Petrova flies aeroplanes and becomes a great explorer. I love the bit where it’s Christmas and they all get watches and white organdie dresses, Pauline’s with a blue sash, Petrova’s red and Posy’s pink. It was a brilliant book and I really enjoyed reading it!
Who is your favourite character?
My favourite character is Petrova because she is different from Pauline and Posy and she loves engineering and building. We also have similar interests, though I like dancing more than she does!
Who is your least favourite character?
I have NO idea! They are all nice!
Did you change your mind about any of the characters later on in the book?
I definitely changed my mind about Pauline! She was nice at the start, but later on she behaved not very nicely towards other people in the middle of the book, and then at the end, I liked her again!
How many stars would you rate the book out of five?
Five!! It was a brilliant book and I couldn’t stop reading it!
