On pointe

On pointe

Book 2019

After years of ballet, Jada feels she is ready to go "on pointe," but the whole process is a lot more complicated then she ever realized: from being measured and fitted for the shoes, to tying the laces correctly, she still has a lot to learn, and that is before she actually tries to walk in pointe shoes, which seems to use muscles she was barely aware of--for the first time, Jada finds that ballet hurts.
