Harper was happy with her life in Connecticut. She was satisfied. But she had questions. Would she find another dance studio out in Florida? Would it be a great one like the one she was part of now? What if she couldn’t continue to dance? What about friends? She would have to leave the ones she had built a life with, but would the new kids in Florida let her in? Life seemed so uncertain now.

In this New York Times bestselling memoir, the incredibly talented breakout star of Dance Moms and judge on So You Think You Can Dance brings her uplifting coming-of-age story about following her dreams and working hard to achieve success in both the dance world and in life. A fun and sparkly book about a girl who moves to a new place and finds a new dance studio, new friends, and new dance moves~ I loved seeing the practises and also see the competition in the end. I was definitely smirking and laughing when the results were announced. Go girls!

Why did I select this book? I selected this book because it was written by Maddie Ziegler, who I am love so much, she is so awesome and talented, so I just had to read this book. Maddies first book "The Maddie Diaries" was so good, so I knew this book would be too. Okay, maybe that sounded overly dramatic. But dancing was my life. The dance studio had been my second home since I was two years old. My mom always said that when I was really little, I would dress up like a fairy princess or a butterfly and jump and twirl around and break things, so she signed me up for a little-kid ballet class to get rid of all that energy. I’d been at that studio ever since.

Dance Moms is my guilty pleasure and I am a total fan girl when it comes to the show and the girls on the show. It does not matter that I am much older, I still just enjoyed the show. I was so excited when this arrived in the mail today (thank you Gallery Books) that I immediately started to read it. Yes!” Remember how I said I appreciate my dance mom? I also appreciate having her leave—so I can get into my head and into the dance zone, I mean. Thankfully, something that doesn’t happen often, Hailey who is Harper’s little sister was actually not too annoying! Just sometimes. 😛

Retailers:

I’m just kidding!” Hailey laughed. “Please. Like Harper didn’t use half a can of hairspray this morning.”
