Although there aren't many ballet schools that will accept a girl like Sylvia in the 1950s, her local bookmobile provides another possibility. A librarian helps Sylvia find a book about ballet and the determined seven-year-old, with the help of her new books, starts teaching herself the basics of classical ballet. Soon Sylvia learns how to fly how to dance and how to dare to dream. Includes a note from the author and a brief history of the bookmobile. Genre:  Biography, Juvenile. Other authors:  LaFaye, A.
