Publisher's Synopsis
Forbidden Books. Forgotten Rooms. Forlorn Stories with fearful omens. With the arrival of the rest of the ballet entourage to help them make the ballet academy a success, princesses Elle and Belle had hoped that their plans would go smoothly. But friction between Sasha and her friends cast shadows of pain in their friendship. Worse, the friends in the court hurl words of suspicions and disdain at the ballerinas. Was it just jealousy, or did the court hide news they did not want the princesses Elle and Belle to know? This children's illustrated story is written from a first person point of view and is similar to a princess diary type book. If your child enjoys fairy-tale stories or tales from authors like Kate DiCamillo, Cynthia Rylant, Mem Fox, Lily Lexington or Gary Paulson then your child will love this beautiful, full-color, Princess adventure and mystery series. In this princess adventure storybook they are also introduced to the world of ballet. At the end of Court Secrets is a re-telling of the classical ballet Coppelia (Doll Story) so children will learn more about that ballet. Dive into the world of princesses and ballerinas and enter the beautiful world of Chadwick Castle and their adventurous princesses Elle and Belle today! Who is the princess castle series for? I wrote the series primarily for girls age 7-12 but although it is a princess type story with mystery, action and adventure, I feel even a boy could enjoy the series. (Bear in mind these are princess stories for girls, essentially.) It being a full-color illustrated ebook and full-color paperback I hope to expose young readers to artwork from master artists of the world and teach them ballet stories that even today children can enjoy at their local ballet performances. My hope is that the princess series will be a children's illustrated classic someday. All Titles in the Princess Ballerina Series. Runaway Princess, Book 1 Cliffside Mystery, Book 2 Castle Academy, Book 3 Court Secrets, Book 4 Forgotten Mystery, Book 5 Ballerina Picnic, Book 6 Princess Troubles, Book 7 Ballet Academy, Book 8
