INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Stone, Phoebe

All the Blue Moons at the Wallace Hotel

(4) 4-6 Eleven-year-old Fiona wants to be a ballet dancer, but she hasn't been able to take lessons for four years, since the death of her father left her mother emotionally uninvolved and forced Fiona to take responsibility for her little sister. The first-person narration inexplicably shifts between past and present tense, and extraneous details slow the pace of the story, but Fiona is an appealing character, who shows great strength in adversity.
