Dances Minnelli, a famous professional dance troupe in New Jersey, is looking for a few girls to star in their annual holiday production of The Nutcracker. Anya, Liberty, and Scarlett all think they'll be a shoe-in for the lead role of Clara. But it's actually Gracie with her big smile and bubbly energy that catches Mr. Minnelli's eye at the auditions.
With so much responsibility resting on her shoulders, will she be able to handle the pressure? Will Liberty learn to love playing a gingerbread man? Can Anya make the most of being a mouse? And can Scarlett handle the fact that her sister is growing into a beautiful dancer . . . and possibly leaving her in the dust?

      The Dance Divas continue to learn about teamwork and fairness. When youngest member Gracie wins a coveted Nutcracker role, her teammates respond with jealousy, insecurity, and sabotage (Pointe). The girls keep secrets from one another and lie to their competition--and face the consequences (Showstopper). Though didactic, these fifth and sixth outings explore common woes of pre-teen friendships with entertaining dance-specific details.
