Books like The girl who wanted to dance by Amy Ehrlich


Clara’s passion for dance clashes with her father’s melancholy, which keeps him disengaged from the joy she seeks. When a lively troupe visits the village in a bright June afternoon, Clara is captivated enough to follow their wagons into the forest. There, she discovers a secret world that transforms her understanding of dance, family, and the bonds that drive her forward.
