Kniha pro děti od 6 let.

Další příběh Ely.

Příběh dceru (5) bavil. Zajímala se o děj a to, je v jejím věku hlavní. Ty knížky začínají dost bavit i mě. Dokážu si představit, že si ji za dva roky zkusí přečíst sama.

This book has been sitting in my library since I was 11. Its a funny story, I was reading this book, but then I spilled water while reading it. Most pages became wet and I couldn't read it that day. I was so upset about it I didn't pick it up after. Then I started reading other books and forgot about it. I found it again after we moved five years ago. Today I decided to finish it and remove it from my TBR entirely. It was a fun and easy read, reminded me why I loved the series as a child.

Was gifted to me when I was just a little girl by my classmate! One of the first book I started reading with such passion, back when I loved doing ballet! This book brings back so many memories. The melancholy!

This is a lovely middle grade kids story about a girl who can dance magic and who helps though out in need, both in the real world and the enchanted one.

Delphie's ballet teacher surprises the girls by saying she thinks she is too old to continue teaching. Delphie and the girls whip up a surprise dance to show how much they learned and to encourage the teacher to stay. But along the way, she is swept back into enchantia and must first help Cinderella meet up with her prince.

There are small black and white drawings interspersed throughout and this is a sweet and easy read that my 11 year old really liked.

The story was really good but it was a bit to easy for me.

I like how everything mentioned in these stories has a purpose, and everything fits together so well, it makes it satisfying and feel more real.
This one included a bit of time travel and the story of Cinderella. Loved the parts about Madame Za Za.
