In the tradition of Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Little Princess come Noel Streatfeild's tales of triumph. In this story, three orphan girls vow to make a name for themselves and find their own special talents. With hard work,
fame just may be in the stars! Originally published in 1937.

Ballet shoes review.:

My grandaughter and I are reading it together. It has some substance, great for a change!

the worst book I've ever read in my life!:

This book is very confusing and mis leading. The author first went wrong with charicters with names like underware or perfume brands enough said. Please consider this reveiw and buy a different book please the last thing this book needs is five stars. :( ;( 8(

Differences are beautiful:

What I love the most about this book is that it reminds all of us, especially young girls, that being different is beautiful and special.

This is a great book for girls today- growing up in a time when the media continues to suggest that we should all "follow the crowd".

Favorite Childhood Book:

This was my favorite book growing up; I read it over and over and over again. Whether it was because I was one of three sisters, or because I loved dancing, or simply because of the incredible world Streatfeild created, I don't know. I wanted to have the magical life that Pauline, Petrova, and Posy shared. This is a great read for any young girl, and might even be appreciated by not-so-young girls as well. I'm sure I'll keep rereading it throughout my life. I loved that it got the recognition it deserved in... more info
