About Kisses And Croissants
Product Description As sweet as a macaron from Laduree, with writing as crisp as a freshly baked baguette, this romantic novel set in Paris about an American ballerina and a charming French boy is parfait for fans of American Royals and Netflix's To All the Boys I've Loved Before. Mia Jenrow has always known she's destined to be a professional ballerina. In fact, it’s in her blood—according to family legend, her too-many-greats-to-count-grandmother once danced for the Paris Opera and was painted by Degas himself! Her parents say it’s just a fantasy, but to Mia it’s so much more than that. It’s her fate. Mia is planning to spend a magical summer in France pursuing her dream, but as she pirou-ettes into Paris, she soon realizes it may be a bit more complicated than she hoped. For starters, there’s her rival, Audrey, who will stop at nothing to show her up. There’s her ballet instructor, whose impossibly high standards push her to the breaking point. And then . . . there’s Louis. Devastatingly, distractingly charming Louis. He’s eager to show Mia his city—and Mia is more than happy to hop on his Vespa and wrap her arms around him as they pass the gleaming lights of the Eiffel Tower. Mia’s summer was supposed to be about ballet—but there’s a reason Paris is called the City of Love. . . . From School Library Journal Gr 7 Up-Mia is a talented 16-year-old ballerina with big dreams of winning an audition with the American Ballet Theatre. She's just arrived in Paris for a competitive six-week ballet program. Her roommate is a dancer she knows from America and soon the two earn top spots in the program's production of Swan Lake. Mia is a very serious dancer, but she quickly gets swept away in a romance with Louis, a charming French boy who happens to also be the son of her demanding ballet teacher. The two also get entangled in an art mystery connected with Mia's family history that connects Degas, ballet, and Mia's grandmother. The setting is the strongest part of this YA romance. Paris simply shines; readers' senses will come alive with all the city has to offer. French words are woven into the text seamlessly. The romance and ballet drama is predictable, but most readers probably won't mind.
