The Sand Dancers - the story
Cassie was very small when her mother, the prima donna dancer of the Sand Faeries, disappeared on the night of the Great Sandstorm nine years ago. Since then, the Supreme Sand Faerie has forbidden any dune dancing. But then Cassie discovers that the Sandringham Dance School is going to reopen, and she is desperate to win a place. Not only does she love dancing, but this might give her the opportunity to find out what really happened to her mother all those years ago. Read on…
Hannah, from the Chicklish website says some nice things about the book:
"The author, Lynda Waterhouse, did a good job writing this! Most books for younger readers are written in such an unreal way that it's annyoing. But this book was imaginative and suitable. The characters each had different personalities and I liked the focus on dance. Of course!
…This book is a light, funny, and cute story about a little troublesome sand sprite. I recommend it for younger readers."
