LARGE PRINT EDITION It's the most wonderful time of the year...
Aspiring ballerina Dani Spevak's visions of sugar plums are dashed
when she's assigned to understudy her nemesis, Hadley Taylor, in
the Nutcracker. Pretty, popular, and rich, that girl has all the
luck. Or so she thought. When Hadley mysteriously disappears with
opening night just around the corner, Dani can't sit idly by, even
if it means losing the part. Now she's running all over Phoenix in
a race against the clock. From reality TV trophy wives to sleazy
real estate developers to a possible drug ring, the cast of
suspects begins to add up. Will she find Hadley before the curtain
rises? Book 2 in the Dani Spevak Mystery Series.
After their amazing first competition, 12-year-old Harper is loving life in her new group, the DanceStarz. But now, Harper has landed a part in her school musical - and not everyone is as thrilled about it as she is.
The DanceStarz are worried Harper will be distracted so close to their next event. The girls have to win - especially as they're facing their arch-rivals, the Belles. Can Harper figure out how to find her balance and shine before she loses it all?
