When It All Syncs Up
あらすじ・解説
“Beautifully dark and moving.” — Joya Goffney, author of Excuse Me While I Ugly Cry and Confessions of an Alleged Good Girl
A Black teen dancer with dreams of landing a spot in a prestigious ballet company must learn to dance on her own terms in this explosive debut about the healing power of art and friendship, perfect for fans of Heartstopper and Tiny Pretty Things.
Ballet is Aisha’s life. So when she’s denied yet another lead at her elite academy because she doesn’t “look” the part, she knows something has to change—the constant discrimination is harming her mental health. Switching to her best friend Neil’s art school seems like the perfect plan at first. But she soon discovers racism and bullying are entrenched in the ballet program here, too, and there’s a troubling new distance between her and Neil. And as past traumas surface, pressure from friends and family, a new romance, and questions about her dance career threaten to overwhelm her. There’s no choreography to follow—for high school or for healing. Aisha will have to find the strength within herself—and place her trust in others—to make her next move.
批評家のレビュー
“A hopeful, realistic exploration of mental health among teens invested in the world of the arts.” — Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“[A] tightly plotted and smoothly written novel that tackles issues of racism in classical ballet alongside mental health and body image conflicts.” — Publishers Weekly
“At times hopeful and beautiful but also heartbreakingly devastating, When It All Syncs Up is a story of love in so many forms. But maybe most important of all, it is about the love we give ourselves, and allow ourselves to be given, even at our most broken.” — Jonny Garza Villa, author of the Pura Belpré Honor Book Fifteen Hundred Miles from the Sun
