'My name is Jacinta Roberts. I am twelve years old, and I HATE MY LIFE.

'Jacinta doesn't want to give up dancing, just her mother's strict rules.

'With her best friend's help, Jacinta flees to Orion Downs where her father now lives with his parents.

'Luckily, Gran kept the upstairs dance studio after her daughter died. With a little cleaning and some dance music, Jacinta is soon practising again - without Mum's horrible diet. But there is one move that she just can't master.

'A new friend appears to help her get it right: Heather,the ghost in the mirror.

'Join Jacinta, Heather and the other dancers in the FIRST of The Dancers series.

'They train and compete, fight and befriend, hurt and get hurt. And learn to love life, and family, all over again.'  (Publication summary)
