Those Snobs Have Gone Too Far! The bad news is that Courtney Clay and the Bunheads are in the gang's winter dance class. The good news is that world-famous ballerina Alexandra Petrovna is coming to dance at the Deerfield Academy. The gang and the Bunheads are competing to see who will be her flower-bearer during her performance. Mary Bubnik gets the nod from an unlikely source: the Bunheads, who want to see her fail. Mary's the worst dancer in the gang! In this second book in the Bad News Ballet series, kindness brings a surprising reward. As Mary tells her friends, "I suppose it's possible to be happier than this, but I'm not sure how."
