Makes you think about how much you need to structure your own life and would be a good example for young girls to better behaveBy Kathleen I OgleI remember this book was on my eighth grade reading list and approved for young readers. I read it then and decided to re-read it now in my 60rsquo;s. The reason I gave it 5 stars is that Irsquo;m rating it as a must read for all reader including young readers. No sex or violence but a very intense book based on the true story of a Russian Ballerina. Makes you think about how much you need to structure your own life and would be a good example for young girls to better behave and stay focused if they want to succeed. Anna goes to the extreme; but shows us how even in her most tyrant moods she remains kind and generous to the poor; the common people and true to her friends.The author writes in an easy to read format. Although this is not a thrilling page-turning book; the author keeps you wanting to read more and to continue on the exciting and almost unbelievable journey that Anna takes. Irsquo;m not sure todayrsquo;s super hero could take on the dangerous risks that Anna took in her life and I commend the author for taking us on this journey without compromising her writing style.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
