FIONA FINKELSTEIN: BIG-TIME BALLERINA

Sometimes Fiona Finkelstein’s life seems to be a lot like a TV show - everywhere she goes, there’s a lot of drama. But that’s what being 9 years old in Ordinary, Maryland, is like when your dad is the chief meteorologist for the local TV station, your mom lives in California and stars in a soap opera, and your little brother thinks he’s a superhero.

Right now life is even better than TV, because Fiona has a chance to live her dream and become a big-time ballerina. There’s just one problem: In her last recital, Fiona starred as the unforgettable Fiona VOMETstein - all over the stage, and all over Benevolence Castle’s can-can costume.

Can Fiona overcome her fears and star in a production of The Nutcracker? Or she will remain the only one in her family who has the worst case of stage fright ever?
