From the award-winning author of Oliver comes a book that glows from the inside out, a book that will move you to be yourself, exactly as you are, and - of course! - get dancing! From the award-winning author of Oliver comes a heart-warming story about finding new friends, overcoming your fears, following your dreams and - of course! - about dancing!

But as soon as anyone is around, she feels so shy. Her knees begin to tremble, butterflies start to flutter in her tummy and ... she forgets how to dance. Will she ever find the courage within herself to share her talent with other people and ... feel free? But then, one day, Frances Dean notices something - someone - unusual and it surprises her and inspires her all at once...
