Ballet School Rumours (Amberwood Hall Ballet School Adventure Book 3) by Eleanor Dixon – Review by Maryn Belling

Many readers will discover Amberwod Hall’s students are like their own classmates despite the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean between the UK and the US. The universal languages of classical ballet and modern dance join characters across more than 200 years. With both age-appropriate social foibles (gossip, irritation with younger students) and desires for freedom, even boarding-school students experience natural consequences.

Parents, teachers, and caregivers will appreciate interwoven messages about work-ethic, teamwork, responsibility, kindness, honesty, and friendship. As the adage goes “when you spill tea, it stains you, too”.

Students will enjoy the escape to England with both real academic contexts and supernatural bonuses coinciding with the competitive ballet school environment. It’s an especially good selection for students who aren’t ready for the more mature content of Gossip Girl or Pretty Little Liars series but have outgrown My Sister the Vampire series.

New vocabulary opportunities for students fluent in US English are also present.

What a fun, paranormal adventure Lauren goes on to figure out who started the rumour about the ghosts. An entertaining romp for the young readers that will entertain them with an easy to read story and enjoyable characters. Laurent’s best friends are ghosts. Can she save them in time? It’s a quick read with positive tone. I enjoyed it and I’m sure my granddaughters will also. I’d recommend it.

Ballet School Rumours is a fun paranormal fantasy tale and the third book in the series. It is aimed at young readers and early teens 8 – 13-year-olds. Eleanors passion comes from her own experiences with ballet and shines through in her words. Lauren, Grace and Rodney are back at Amberwood and on their next mysterious adventure. It is an engaging story with heart-warming characters.

It is a sweet tale of ghosts and friendships. A gossip column, sinister whispers and a ghost hunt could quickly derail it all. It could turn friends into enemies and broken dreams.

If you love ballet and ghostly adventures you will enjoy this.

My school life was spent in a girls’ boarding-school specialising in classical ballet and on leaving I danced professionally, touring Europe, for 4 years. After that I ran my own ballet school in Athens, Greece and simultaneously volunteered as a veterinary nurse, as my love of animals is the driving force in my life. I returned to England with my horse and my cat, and now live on a smallholding in Shropshire with various farm animals and a constant stream of pets.

 I started writing while in Greece and completed a Creative Writing Course with the Writers’ Bureau. The same year, I won an annual competition in the Writing Magazine for an adult Fairy Story.

On my return to England, I wrote two children’s books, but my new life, caring for Highland Cattle, sheep, hens and pets, coupled with extensive global travel, meant that writing for publication took a back seat. I continued my love of writing with a daily journal and amusing travel blogs of each trip.

I am now writing full time and working on two series: TALLY AND THE ANGEL and THE AMBERWOOD HALL BALLET SCHOOL.

My first published novel, THE GRACEFUL GHOST, part of the Amberwood Hall Series, draws on my own experiences in ballet-boarding-school and my early teenage life and is a story that has lived with me for many years. It was shortlisted for the UK Selfies Award 2021.
