Breaking Pointe - By Chenée Marrapodi (paperback)

Amelia loves ballet more than anything, but the sudden arrival of an intense new teacher shifts the Academy focus from classical to contemporary dance. Amelia is out of her depth with the edgy choreography and unsettled by its world-ending theme, especially when a shock diagnosis really might bring her life crashing down. Valentina is completely at home with the new style but has troubles off the dance floor. As she desperately strives to secure a scholarship and save her dance career, money problems and an unexpected romance have her in a complete spin. With so much at breaking point, the girls will need to decide what really matters before everything falls apart. About the Author Chené e Marrapodi is an Australian writer and podcaster. She has worked in media for many years, currently for Channel Nine News, and formerly as a reporter for Channel Seven's Today Tonight, as well as online news and radio. Chené e's love of words is rivalled only by her love of dance. Her books, One Wrong Turn and Breaking Pointe are the perfect combination of the two.
