It sounds like this one might be similar, but I'm really intrigued by the war setting. I'll definitely have to look for this one!Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13139361928785566916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4086060608799640898.post-8697792917190075352017-07-10T19:14:53.710-04:002017-07-10T19:14:53.710-04:00Interesting choice.

Nice to know Emma Watson was in the movie Ballet Shoes. Will have to check the series out. I loved everything about the theater and dance in the late 1950s, so I'm surprised I didn't know about the series.

We have an on again, off again theater program, so it's just not something my students are passionate about.
