About this title

Synopsis:

With wit, humor and compassion, this fifth book in the series explores the sensitive subjects of weight and self image. It's time for the gang to get their toe shoes. Finally, they'll be real ballerinas. But then 11-year-old Gwen flunks the toe-shoe test. She's too out of shape to dance in satin slippers. As if that weren't enough, Courtney and the Bunheads run with the bad news, calling Gwen a blubberina. Rocky, Zan, McGee, and Mary Bubnik are determined to help Gwen regain her dignity and her form. With some inspirational coaching and a little extra something from Anastasia's magic stone, Gwen learns to believe in herself and lets the cruel Bunheads know they're nothing but a bunch of blabberinas
