My Review<\/span><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

From zero to hero to\u2026 well, if you want to find out more, you\u2019ll have to read the book. Mabel loves ballroom dancing\u2026 but can\u2019t find a partner. She wants to compete in and win the most prestigious contest in the UK. Now the fun starts.<\/p>\n

Mabel has the typical worries that go along with being a teenager. The author deals with these in a believable and sympathetic manner making the pages fly past.<\/p>\n

I would have liked to discover Mabel\u2019s age much earlier in the book than I did not being completely familiar with the UK school system.<\/p>\n

This fun-filled book will appeal to readers in the middle-grade to Young Adult age group \u2013 especially girls.<\/p>\n

4 stars!<\/p>\n
