Lynn Swanson Releases SUMMER DANCE

Author Lynn Swanson portrays the hard-won accomplishments of tween and teenage girls as they cope with life-changing artistic and social events at a dance camp in "Summer Dance" (ISBN 1463742169). Set in the northern Michigan woods, the novel tells the story of 13-year-old Sara, who has been accepted into an exclusive dance program for the summer, and how the challenges of boys, dance and friends help her realize what she wants in life and in a future dance career.

"Summer Dance" contains a glossary of dance terms and a study guide. It is filled with dance music readily available on the market to enhance readers' experience of the story, such as "Swan Lake," "Les Patineurs," "Les Sylphides," "Nutcracker" and Kronos Quartet's "Pieces of Africa."
