Description In Pursuance Of Books Dancing Shoes (Shoes #9)

Wintle's Little Wonders
When Cora Wintle goes to pick up her orphaned niece, Rachel, she discovers that Rachel's adopted sister, Hilary, would be perfect for her dancing troupe. The only problem is that Hilary might be as good as her own precious daughter, Dulcie. Still, she's determined to take sulky Rachel and sprightly Hilary and make them into Little Wonders.
But Rachel doesn't want to be a Little Wonder. She can't dance, and she'd rather die than wear the ruffly costume. Not only that, she doesn't want Hilary to be a Little Wonder either. She had promised her mother that she would make sure Hilary danced with the Royal Ballet.
Nothing seems to be going as planned, until Rachel discovers her talent for acting. . . .

Critique Appertaining To Books Dancing Shoes (Shoes #9)
I read this book as an adult, but I have to say I find strong similarties among all of Noel Streatfeild's "dancing" stories. Always the parents disappear due to death or whatever, leaving the children in someone else's care. There's always a responsible sibling who hates dancing herself, but passionately wants her sister to be a ballerina. Always the remarks about "only till I'm fifteen, then I can do something different." And there's always someone who gets attention on stage and lets it go to

I didn't realize how important this book was to me as a child until I re-read it decades later...and I chuckle to see that the reason why I have named so many things Rachel, Hilary and Dulcie was because of this wonderful gem of a story. The examples of young girls finding it quite okay to be independent and self-supporting also buoyed my own determination. Really wonderful story, rich characters, very realistic emotions, nice mix of supportive and unsupportive adults, terrific setting--can't

I didn't really like this book. I was intrigued by it becasue Kathleen Kelly in "You've got Mail" liked it. But not for me. The only part I liked was the fact that I was reading this with my daughter. And we both talked about how we didn't like the characters, didn't like the story line or all of the misunderstandings. And we didn't even like how it ended. I don't think we'll read Ballet Shoes after this. Unless we are desperate.

I absolutely loved this book as a young girl (elementary age 3-5). If you love dance you'll love this book. It was one of my most favorite books when I was young.

I think this is my favorite of the "Shoes" books.

Formative for me. Streatfeild's unconventional families undoubtedly influenced my ideas of what can and should be "family", and her portrayal of the business of art gave me a more realistic idea of artistry from the outset. Dancing Shoes is my favorite of the Shoes series. I'm still not sure how it captivated me for so many reads as a kid, but it held up to my rediscovery. As an adult, I identified even more with Rachel in her desire to make things conform to what she believes as right, and her

This was one of my favorite series as a child, and, many years later, I still find them delightful. These books tell the stories of orphan girls who discover their gifts in the world, often in theatre and dance. They have different ambitions, and all of that is fine. What matters is what they want to do. They are wonderful reads.
