Bookroo's summary

Tallulah dreams of dancing en pointe, but her teacher insists her feet aren't ready. Undeterred, she takes matters into her own hands, sneaking a pair of toe shoes to prove she's ready. As she balances her ambition with the reality of her growing feet, Tallulah faces a pivotal choice: follow her heart or heed the advice of those who know best. Will her determination lead to triumph or teach her a valuable lesson about patience and growth?

From the publisher

Tallulah is back in ballet class and now she wants to go en pointe–to dance up on the tips of her toes in pink satin toe shoes, like a real ballerina. But going en pointe is not good for growing feet, and her ballet teacher says her feet aren’t ready yet. Oh, yes, they are, Tallulah thinks. And so am I. Not only is she ready, she’s determined. And nothing stops Tallulah when her mind is made up!
