About this title

Synopsis

Hang onto your hats as you enjoy this middle grade chapter book for elementary students. Join the Ballet Busters and their beloved dance teacher as you whirl through the magical Super Time Tunnel. Meet Marti, Julie, Zack, and Luis, as they travel back 100 years to St. Petersburg, Russia, just in time for the very first Nutcracker performance. What an amazing journey these young dancers experience, learning about the history of the ballet, battling bullies, and causing chaos onstage and off. Will Marti regain her BSS's trust again? Will she ever have a role bigger than a Little Mouse? The book also includes the plot of the Nutcracker Ballet, a glossary of ballet, theater, and musical terms, and fun ballet facts.
