Book description
Kaitlyn, Taylor, Alexandra, and Julian are all students at the
Vancouver International Ballet Academy where ballet and drama dominate
everyone's lives.
Kaitlyn was the star at her old school, but the competition at VIBA
is fierce and her reputation as a prodigy is threatened. About to turn
15 years old, Taylor isa bit of a scatterbrain. She's got a lot of
potential, but the teachers are frustrated with her lack of
confidence, and her troubles at school arent helping. Alexandra has
done everything right, and she's determined to become a dancer, but
the teachers at VIBA seem to be against helping her. Julian, at 15,
loves dance, so going to a professional ballet school seems fun even
if it does take over every aspect of his life.
It's only their first semester, but these four students will have to
push themselves to their limits to make it through their first major
performance, The Nutcracker, and continue on the path to
becoming professional dancers.
"Love You, Hate You is energetic and readable. The main
characters have the possibility to grow, and grow up." Charis
Marsh has been dancing for as long as she can remember and loves the
people she meets in the dance world almost as much as the dancing. She
has performed in many productions, including
The Nutcracker
. Currently, she is working toward a bachelor's degree in Vancouver, her
hometown.
