Critical Praise

Our Hip Scouts review Bunheads:

Bunheads absorbed me from the first sentence. Expelling any glamorous illusions, the novel divulged the devotion, sweat, and oftentimes, starvation, that accompanies the exclusive world of dance. Hannah, the endearing yet stubborn narrator from the ballet corps, comes of age before the reader's eyes. Her journey from Bunhead to pedestrian is a well-worn path that every teenage girl, dancer or not, can appreciate.
-Allie, 17

It’s pretty much every girl’s little dream to become a ballerina. Bunheads by Sophia Flack gives the reader a behind-the-scenes look into ballet.  And just like the real world, it's cutthroat. 
-Caitlyn, 18
