I loved it because I have the best friends, am Jewish, love to dance, and sometimes have to sort out my priorities.

I love the way she gets kicked out of the nutcracker for her best friend . I also loved the way she was heroic trying to get in the hospital to see her best friend .

Alyssa has two lifes, her family and jewish life and her dancing life. She has two jobs. to help her best friend recover from sickness and to get through the Nutcracker.

This book helped me prepare a little bit for my Bat Mitzvah which is in April 2018. My friends are a HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE part of my life and this made them an even bigger. Also, acting has been a huge part of my life and this made it even bigger. Same with Judaism.
