Milly yearns to dance like her ballerina mum – but during the biggest performance of her life, she messes up and her mum disappears.

Six months on, Milly receives an unexpected invitation to join the Swan House School of Ballet. Thrilled, Milly accepts, only to find that Swan House is no ordinary ballet school; it’s a ballet school for spies.

Can her new skills help her discover the truth about her mother’s vanishing act?

A funny, thrilling debut novel for middle-grade readers by a fresh new voice in children’s fiction: Ballet School meets Murder Most Unladylike with a fun, contemporary twist.

Milly is a relatable, embattled hero whose quest for her mother is mirrored by a growing confidence and ability to pursue her dreams.

A fantastic ensemble cast and plenty of intrigue and twists makes this a real page-turner.
