Lakewood Dance Camp in northern Michigan in Sara's thirteenth summer: A lake, a cabin, a dance studio, a theatre, costumes, performances. What could go wrong?: a tough Russian ballet teacher,learning modern dance, the boys across the lake, trying to win a scholarship to return next year, and Robin! Sara must learn to grow not only in technique, but in her social skills and in spirit. The story ends with a vivid final performance and announcement of the scholarship winners. "Watching Sara and the others develop not only as dancers but also as leaders and supportive friends is the best aspect of this book," -- ForeWord/Clarion book reviewer, Mary Cary Crawford.

Swanson, dancer and dance educator, spent four summers dancing and assisting in the Interlochen summer dance program when Gay DeLanghe (deceased Professor of Dance at U of M) directed its summer program. The book is dedicated in part to Gay.
