Book description
Weekly ballet classes are Harriet Morton's only escape from her
intolerably dull life. So when she is chosen to join a corps de ballet
which is setting off on a tour of the Amazon, she leaps at the chance to
run away for good. Performing in the grand opera houses is everything
Harriet dreamed of, and falling in love with an aristocratic exile makes
her new life complete. Swept away by it all, she is unaware that her
father and intended fiance have begun to track her down. . .
Eva Ibbotson lives in Newcastle upon Tyne and has four grown-up
children. She has written ten other books for children, which have
been translated into many languages. She has won several major awards
for her work, and two major movies based on her books are currently in
development.
