Fiona Finkelstein was born to be a ballerinaтАФif she can get over her stage fright, that is. The first in the feisty and endearing Not-So-Ordinary Girl trilogy.
More than catching fireflies, more than eating tripleтАУhot fudge sundaes, and even more than waking up on the first day of summer vacation, Fiona Finkelstein wants to become a ballerina. ThereтАЩs just one problem: In her last recital, she starred as the unforgettable Fiona VOMITsteinтАФher тАЬperformanceтАЭ went all over the stage, and all over Benevolence CastlesтАЩs cancan costume.
Can Fiona overcome her fears and blossom as a big-time ballerina in The Nutcracker, even in a snowstorm? Or will she be the only person in her family to have the flat-out worst case of stage fright ever?
