INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Goldberg, Whoopi

Dancing Diva

(4) 4-6 Sugar Plum Ballerinas series. Illustrated by Maryn Roos. With Deborah Underwood. Headstrong nine-year-old Epatha likes to inject her own unique style into choreography, but when she does so with a solo part for the Harlem Ballet, she learns a valuable lesson about modesty. The moral is a bit overwrought, but a spirited narrator, vivid Harlem setting, and plenty of ballet terminology add interest; effervescent black-and-white spot art accompanies each chapter. Glos.
