Zapatillas de ballet es un clásico imprescindible de la literatura juvenil inglesa sobre aquellos lazos familiares que van más allá de la sangre. Pauline, Posy y Petrova Fossil son tres huérfanas que, adoptadas por un benefactor misterioso, conviven en una gran casona de Londres. Son algo asà como hermanas, pero no podrÃan ser más diferentes: Pauline es rubia, de ojos azules, y adora el teatro. Posy tiene una frondosa melena pelirroja y, si algo le apasiona, es bailar y cantar. Y Petrova es pálida y delgaducha, solo piensa en aviones y en la mecánica que los hace volar, y detesta por encima de todas las cosas tener que subirse a un escenario. Cuando los problemas económicos aparecen en el horizonte de las hermanas Fossil, no les queda otra que unirse para encontrar una solución. Y la solución, al parecer, no solo pasa por alquilar habitaciones de su casa, sino por convertirse en la nueva sensación del mundillo del teatro. No saben por dónde empezar, y desde luego tienen un poco de miedo. Pero si algo caracteriza a las hermanas Fossil es que son más listas que el hambre. Y que están dispuestas a sacar adelante a su peculiar familia cueste lo que cueste. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
Ballet Shoes is an essential classic of English children's literature about family bonds that go beyond blood ties. Pauline, Posy, and Petrova Fossil are three orphans who, adopted by a mysterious benefactor, live together in a grand London mansion. They're sort of like sisters, but they couldn't be more different: Pauline is blonde with blue eyes and loves the theater. Posy has a thick head of red hair, and her passion is dancing and singing. And Petrova is pale and skinny; she thinks only of airplanes and the mechanics that make them fly, and she hates nothing more than having to go on stage. When financial troubles loom on the horizon for the Fossil sisters, they have no choice but to join forces to find a solution. And the solution, it seems, involves not only renting out rooms in their house but also becoming the new sensation on the theater scene. They don't know where to start, and they're certainly a little scared. But if there's one thing that defines the Fossil sisters, it's that they're smarter than their troubles. And they're determined to support their quirky family no matter what it takes.
