Description
My name is Jacinta Roberts. I am twelve years old, and I HATE MY LIFE.
Jacinta doesn't want to give up dancing, just her mother's strict rules.
With her best friend's help, Jacinta flees to Orion Downs where her father now lives with his parents.
Luckily, Gran kept the upstairs dance studio after her daughter died. With a little cleaning and some dance music, Jacinta is soon practising again - without Mum's horrible diet. But there is one move that she just can't master.
A new friend appears to help her get it right: Heather, the ghost in the mirror.
Join Jacinta, Heather and the other dancers in the FIRST of The Dancers series.
They train and compete, fight and befriend, hurt and get hurt. And learn to love life, and family, all over again.

New Zealand born Cathrine (Cate) Marshall now calls Australia home because it has more adventurous ghosts, and less of her own. Her first book Mokes, Mines, and Mayhem was published in 2008 and she has since retired to write her series of middle grade books, The Dancers. Cate's short stories have placed in competitions; and have been placed in several anthologies. She is an active member of her local Fellowship of Australian Writers (FAW) branch as well as being Vice President and Competition Secretary for the State Committee. Cate loves creating stories about the people and places she encounters (and ghosts she dreams of meeting).
