Ballerina Weather Girl
(Formerly titled Fiona Finkelstein, Big-Time Ballerina!)
In this first book of the series, nine-year-old Fiona has a chance to become a big-time ballerina—to dance on a real stage with a real curtain—and the only thing standing in her way is a flat out awful case of stage fright.
