A Proper Little Nooryeff

by Jean Ure   |  Ages 13+
A Proper Little Nooryeff
A Proper Little Nooryeff

Ballet dreams clash with family expectations.

If you've known the struggle between pursuing your passion and the weight of familial obligations, 'A Proper Little Nooryeff' might resonate deeply with you. Jean Ure presents a tale that's as much about dance as it is about the coming-of-age challenges one faces. The nuanced portrayal of a young protagonist seeking her place in the world of ballet, while navigating her family's wishes, offers a story that speaks to dreamers and realists alike.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
