Ratings and reviews

Will Summer ever reach her goal? Summer Tanberry, pretty, easy-going, determined. Summer dreams of dance, and when she is offered a place in a ballet school Summer wants it so badly it hurts. School ends and holidays begin, weeks of relaxing and parties. But not for Summer, she has no time for beach parties and days of lazing. She is practising, until all her muscles ache and she is exhausted. But soon she skips meals, eats like a sparrow and is losing energy. But she brushes it aside. The audition is her obsession and things are spinning out of control. Will Summer realise, with the help of a boy who wants more than just friendship, that dreams come in different shapes?

This book is amazing, I have read but even though in first few chapters I didn't enjoy it however after a while I did so you should definitely get this book. Recommended for Jacqueline Wilson fans if not you might still like it.

Haven't finished it yet but truly in love with it already only on chapter three. I really didn't think it was my kind of book. Can't wait to read more of The Chocolate Box girls. Definitely try it. YOUR TRULY THE BEST CATHY
