Review: Friday Night Stage Lights by Rachele Alpine
The Cutting Edge meets Step Up in this hilarious M!X novel where the worlds of football and ballet collide.
Brooklyn Gartner eats, sleeps, and breathes ballet. But after her mom gets remarried and moves them to Texas, everything changes. Thanks to her star football player stepbrother, her family is football obsessed. And thanks to a new conditioning program, the middle school football team starts to take classes at her dance studio—the only place Brooklyn felt like she belonged.
She has a chance to escape if she can get into her dream high school, The Texas School of the Arts, where she’ll be able to pursue her passion for dance. Brooklyn just has to get through the big All-City showcase first, where a ton of scouts will be there, including one from TSOTA.
But when Brooklyn’s dance partner gets injured, she has to turn to an unexpected ally—Logan, a boy on the middle school football team—to help her get through the showcase. With some fancy footwork, teamwork and a little understanding, can Brooklyn make her mark, and dance her way onto a bigger stage?

Plot: I really liked the plot of this book! And I liked reading a book with ballet in it.
Characters: I really liked all the characters in this book! Brooklyn was great as a main character, and reading about her love for ballet was neat. It was also nice to read a MG book where the family of the main character played a big role, from her stepbrother, to her Mom and stepdad. And her friends were also good characters!
The cover: I really like the cover, I think it fits the book really well!
Overall: A really fun Middle Grade book! I would definitely recommend it! :)
I received an e-ARC of this book from the publisher.
