Making Strides (Book 2 of the Reaching New Heights Series)

"You got everything?" Mom asks me. I check my dance bag for both pairs of shoes and my water bottle.
"Yeah!" I say. Oh yeah! I completely forgot that today's my first time in advanced beginner, and my first time trying hard shoe! Razz made me and my mom go out to buy me hard shoes this past weekend because she wanted me to try it at my first feis: "If you aren't feeling ready enough to compete in hard shoe, you don't have to. But I do want you to try. After all, Chloe did it at her first feis and she did so well in it!" I almost growl when I remember that conversation. It's always about Chloe: "Chloe got second in hard shoe and a first in soft shoe at her very first feis!" "Chloe's amazing! You should dance like Chloe!" Why is it always about Chloe?
