Leap (Paperback)

Fifteen-year-old Natalie uses her passion for dance to navigate the unpredictable world of older boys, moody friends, and absentee parents. Her father lives in another city and has a new family, and her mother is increasingly distant. Over the course of the summer, she falls in love (or is it just lust?) with her best friend's older brother, learns her mother's big secret, and discovers a new world when a teacher introduces her to the power and freedom of modern dance.
