From Newbery Awardwinning author Patricia MacLachlan comes a lyrical coming-of-age story about finding your own voice while learning to understand the people you love the most.

Luckily, Sylvies teacher Mrs. Ludolf has the perfect idea. Sylvie can take over her husband Sheriff Ludolfs column in the newspaper for the summer, reporting on all the important events that happen in their small Wyoming town. Sylvie is thrilled to have a new challenge, but shes not sure shell actually see anything amazing.

Have she and her brother Nate been holding her mother back? And when her mothers old duet partner James Grayson writes that hes coming to perform nearby, will she be tempted to return to the stage, without them?

I‘d forgotten how much I loved Sarah MacLachlan — it‘s been 20+ years since reading Sarah Plain and Tall. Her prose is delicious and her characters so lovable

An unexpected day with my boy. We finished our first read aloud together. From the author of 'Sarah, Plain and Tall', 'Just Dance' had a very simple message, "Life is simple. We silly humans try to make it complicated and confused." Conley loved that we looked up each song mentioned inside (from opera to Willie Nelson) and thought it was funny when the mom sang to the farm animals.
