(W) Jerome Hamon, Lena Sayaphoum
This stylish, full-color bande dessinée is a beautiful coming-of-age story focusing on themes of family, friendship, self-confidence and personal growth through the lens of music and dance. Emma and Capucine are sisters and best friends, who have worked their whole lives to attend the most prestigious ballet school in Paris. However, when Capucine passes the auditions and Emma doesn't, their world collapses completely. Dealing with parental pressure, new friendships, and first loves, the two girls learn to follow their hearts-and that, sometimes, what you really want is something you never expected. Growing up and finding yourself isn't so hard... when you can dance through it!
