Items related to Harriet's Ghost
Marianne is an extremely talented ballet dancer, but her friend Harriet is worried about her—being skinny is common enough in ballet school, but Marianne seems to be making herself ill. Harriet is excited to be accompanying Marianne to dance at the Opera, but as Marianne grows weaker, Harriet sees another dancer waiting in the wings. Can it really be Giuseppina, a famous 19th century ballerina, reaching out from the past?

About the Author:
Bridget Crowley began her career as a dancer and actor, and has been a teacher of both in schools across London. She is now a writer and a freelance lecturer and story-teller, spending much of her time working with school children and the disabled, talking about art and painting—at the National Gallery, the Tate Modern, the Tate St. Ives, and the Wallace Collection, among others. She also works as an "audio-describer" at the Royal National Theater, assisting the visually impaired to appreciate live performances.
Review:
'An intense and enjoyable mystery which brings the school story genre right up to date ... a clever and insightful book.' -- The School Librarian 20051201 'This is a sympathetic and fascinating account of the world of ballet with all its expectations and thrills; it also depicts how both girls mature and learn to attain their true aims.' -- Carousel 20060501 Step into the Dark: 'A highly likeable and accomplished first novel. Briskly paced without being rushed, the story will engage readers of 11 and above with its real sense of urban teenage life.' -- Linda Newbury, TES 20060501 'A terrifically vivid book ... RECOMMENDED.' -- Achuka website 20060501 Feast of Fools: 'A thrilling medieval murder mystery about friendship, loyalty and doing what is right.' -- The Bookseller 20060501 'A gripping story with a fascinating insight into life at this time.' -- Jill Slotover, Financial Times 20060501
