Narration Concering Books Dancing in Red Shoes Will Kill You

I hadn't really thought of my breasts as "problem breasts." It made them sound like children who wouldn't behave. No bra was going to keep these babies a secret. And those tips for the full-figured girl in the magazines? Please. Even NASA couldn't design a tank suit to camouflage my proportions.

Kayla Callaway has been studying ballet since she learned to walk, and her heart is set on a future in the dance world. She's sure she'll get a solo part in Cinderella, the spring ballet at her high school.

But when the parts are finally posted, Kayla is shocked that she's only landed a role as a stepsister –– and an ugly one, at that! The brutal truth: Ballet and big boobs don't mix. Suddenly Kayla's dream for the future has become a real-life fractured fairy tale.

To make matters worse, bloodred pointe shoes with threatening messages start popping up all over school. When Kayla learns that she'll be wearing red pointe shoes in the ballet, she wonders if the messages are meant for her. But who are they from? And more important -- what do they mean?

This book is awsome its so funny! personally i can connect to this character in what she goes through with her breats. People not seeing me for me and in the book the character is amazing in ballet but when people see her they say she's good but her breats are in the way and that she needs breast reduction. but in the end she sees that her breast are apart of her and i was happy that she saw that.

Kayla goes to Florida Arts High School (FARTS), and is told that her breasts are too developed for her to ever be a successful ballerina. Her sister's art installation is being censored. She meets a new boy, and someone may be trying to kill her (but not in a super scary way--if that makes sense). Bringing in teen-themes of body image, self-expression, and the dating scene, Dancing in Red Shoes... is a great read for teen girls.

Hysterical! While the description seems to focus mainly on the shoes, most of the book focuses on a certain dancer's proportions...And okay, I don't have double Ds, but my proportions are too warped to be a ballet dancer. So a huge part of it actually does focus on how she and others perceive the size of her boobs--something I can relate to. Sad, though, all she wants is to be a B. So, yeah, I wouldn't really recommend this book to a guy, but it was really cute.I really loved the relationship

I loved this book, mostly because i can relate to it. Having big boobs is not always for the best, and this is the story to read to understand that. Not only did she discuss issues such as others pressuring you to have a breast reduction but also the other side where her real friends only want her to be herself. Its almost weird thinking that someone my age is dealing with the same issues as melike wanting to get rid of something that others want.

I checked this out from the library per Lauren's (grand daughter) request and read it before I got it to her. It is a quick fun story about teen self-image issues, fairy tales, Margaret Atwood, artistic freedom and expression, and censorship by the powers that be.

Mildly entertaining, but that's about it. The characters were very stereotypical and 2-dimensional, the writing was mediocre and the plot was extremely lacking, probably because it was just a thin disguise for The Moral - one thing I cannot abide in YA fiction. The issues that this novel was trying to deal with (censorship, body image & self-acceptance) were handled very clumsily and without any real depth. The whole mystery with the red shoes and threatening messages was mildly promising,

Not much substance (not that I was expecting much) but the plot really leaves MUCH to be desired. The blurb on the cover leads you to believe there will be some big mystery--nope. It also leads you to believe somebody's life may even be in danger--nope, again. It really wasn't worth finishing, but I forced myself to because it was on my Weeds list. So Gone.
