THE TWEET
This is the story of a dedicated and talented teenage ballet dancer trying to find a place to belong in a privileged world unlike her own.
WHAT WORKED
I loved the character of Sonia! She's a talented ballet student who is determined to succeed and is not afraid to work hard to reach her goal of becoming a professional dancer. Sonia is caught between two worlds - that of her poverty stricken home life and her school life at a prestigious academy where the students are rich and privileged. As a reader, Sonia's character was easy to relate to and I was able to identify with her struggle to find a place to fit into, a place to belong.
OVERALL
THE QUEEN BEE OF BRIDGETON is a great contemporary story about a teen girl looking for her niche in life and finding love along the way. It's about navigating jealousy, prejudice and deceit and overcoming obstacles on the way to achieving a lifelong dream.
