Brand new series from the New York Times bestselling author Maddie Ziegler

Twelve-year-old Harper McCoy has danced practically since she could walk, and she is making her mark as one of the top dancers at her studio. Until her parents drop the bombshell: they are moving to Florida, which means she'll have to say good-bye to her friends, her classmates—and her beloved dance team.

When Harper arrives at her new studio, she realises the competition in Florida will be fierce. And it doesn't help that her new team—the DanceStarz—have danced together forever and aren't exactly welcoming...

When disaster strikes right before a competition, the DanceStarz will have to work together to impress the judges, and they might just discover what friendship and teamwork are all about!

The mega-selling author of The Maddie Diaries returns with the first novel in her brand-new middle grade trilogy about friendship, dance, and chasing your dreams.
