Bookroo's summary
Sophia's world changes when Aunt Lena, her vibrant matinee-loving aunt, is bedridden after a dance mishap. Determined to lift her spirits, Sophia rallies her family to stage a heartfelt performance.

From the publisher
Every week, Aunt Lena goes to the matinee and returns home to perform what she saw for her niece, Sophia, but one week while performing the rhumba, she hurts her back and is forced to stay in bed, so Sophia decides to put on her own show for her sickly aunt in place of her precious matinee.
