Now the animals are in danger again as the rotter Jago Reaver attempts to take control of their home. Written with simple prose and a gentle narrative that always keeps the pages turning, Reynolds’ book keeps the reader guessing to the end.” BORN TO DANCE 2009 WINNER (Children’s Fiction) San Francisco Book Festival 2008 First Prize (Children’s Fiction) The David St. John Thomas Charitable Trust 2008 Honourable Mention (Children’s Fiction) Hollywood Book Festival 2008 Honourable Mention (Children’s Fiction) London Book Festival Festival Comment: "'Born to Dance' is a delightful and well-structured children’s adventure that captures the magic of the circus, and the thrill of being on your own in the world. Katherine Reynolds’ strong voice and skilled plotting was honed in years of professional endeavors in television, film and journalism. Unlike many writers, her work does not bog down in the third act, and the ingenious twists offered in her tale never pander to the young readership." Literary Magic Magazine -Writer Spotlight - Summer Edition "Reynolds delivers a masterpiece with 'Born to Dance', a Children’s book that is about much more than talking and performing animals. It is about love, hard work, friendship, and above all, hope. Hope is a simple concept. Just one word. But 'Born to Dance' takes the word “hope” to the next level. 'Born to Dance' will leave readers excited for more.” Comment: "'Born to Dance' is a delightful and well-structured children’s adventure that captures the magic of the circus, and the thrill of being on your own in the world.
