Why read it?

1 author picked Dance Magic as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I loved this adventure for younger readers, and I think it would be perfect for ages 5-8 who want an introduction to creepy, spooky stories. Autumn wants to dance and is desperate to join a dance team.

The story explores friendship, dealing with tricky people, and fighting to achieve one's dreams. I really enjoyed it, and the cover is so cute that friends always borrow it for their children—especially around Halloween. 

From Carolyn's list on spooky Halloween books for children.
