|summary=An obnoxious narrator and a rather flat supporting cast make this tale of ballet in the 1920's one which I wouldn't personally recommend. If the subject matter really appeals to you then it may still be worth taking a look at, though.

}}

Daphne, a thirteen-year-old orphan in London in the 1920s, has two dreams. She longs to find a family and to become a ballerina – but both seem equally impossible. Then a package from an anonymous sender, with a magical pair of stockings and a strange riddle, seems to give her the opportunity to make her dreams come true. Can she get the happiness and success she's always longed for, or will the interference of others stop her from achieving it?

If you're looking for really magical historical fiction for this age range, don't miss the Kat Stephenson Chronicles, starting with [[A Most Improper Magick by Stephanie Burgis]] - one of the very best current series.
