Product Description:
Threesomes are hard, everyone says, but since kindergarten, Vanessa, Winnie, and Zoe—the End-of-the-Alphabet Club—have done everything together: sleepovers, trips to the library, games at recess. Yet now, as the world of ballet enters their lives, Winnie fears she will lose her two best friends.

Rating: - Because peer pressure & group-think start early...
Winnie ROCKS! She's a sensitive, thoughtful girl, with a wonderful dad (single fathers take note!). She's also a bit of a klutz, just as I was at her age (still am today, despite the dance lessons).

The lovely line illustrations by Alissa Imre Geis are perfectly suited to the ... Read More

Elementary school is a time of making and breaking best friends. Winnie and her two best friends are put to a test when ballet classes are offered for third graders in their school, and Winnie doesn't want to dance, though her friends do. This easy-to-read novel honestly shows the ups and downs of friendship, without being sappy or bitter. Readers will also find that being yourself is more important than following the crowd, and true friends will support you no matter what.
