(4) YA Dario Quincy Academy of Dance series. Five teenage girls investigate eerie occurrences at their prestigious-but-creepy ballet academy. Students' family heirlooms disappear and the friends discover teachers performing a ritual with them (Shadows). Kayley steals a pair of pointe shoes said to grant good luck--but as her dancing improves, her friends get inexplicably injured (Luck). Aimed at reluctant readers, these novels are entertaining if not especially original or characterful. Review covers these Dario Quincy Academy of Dance titles: Leaping at Shadows and Stolen Luck.
