Alexandrea Petrakova Johnson does not want to be a
beautiful ballerina, and she does not want to leave her
friends in Apple Creek. Unfortunately, that doesn't stop
her ballet-crazy mother from moving them to Harlem, or from
enrolling Al at the Nutcracker School of Ballet.
Life is hard when you're the new ballerina on the block,
and it's even harder when you're chosen to be the Sugar
Plum Fairy in the school recital! Not only is Al a terrible
dancer, but she's also got a rotten case of stage fright!
Al's ballet classmates are going to have to use all the
plum power they've got to coach this scary fairy!
