Angelina is excited about attending Camembert Academy, where she hopes to devote herself to ballet. The new school turns out to be full of dancers with different interests and abilities, and her enthusiasm soon gives way to uncertainty. Her classmates enjoy a variety of styles, while Angelina wonders whether being devoted to one kind of dance will make it difficult to fit in. As she gets to know the other young performers, the challenge becomes one of friendship as well as dancing. Inspired by Katharine Holabird and Helen Craig's Angelina Ballerina characters, this All Aboard Reading story pairs simple text with colourful television-style illustrations for children beginning to read about familiar feelings and new experiences.
