From School Library Journal
Grade 6-9-At first glance, this novel seems to tell the story of an aspiring dancer, but the main topic is one that is not often touched on in adolescent fiction. Regan lives to dance, that is, until she begins having unusual pain and swelling in her joints. She tries to hide her problem from her parents and dance teacher until one night the pain is so intense that she is unable to get out of bed. At first the doctors think the girl has leukemia, but later find that she has rheumatoid arthritis. Regan feels that her life is now over until her best friend shows her what is possible, even with this disability. There is little character development except for Regan. Also, it's unfortunate that there isn't more factual information about this condition and/or sources for further research on the subject as readers will want to know more. Still, since the novel deals with an unusual subject, it may be worth purchasing.
