Noel Streatfeild's Ballet Shoes
Sometimes you just have to reread one of your favorite books from childhood (I don't know why all of my favorite books from childhood were written in like the 1930s, but they were). I am generally angry that none of Streatfeild's books are available as e-books, but especially this one, which is one of the best books about an unconventional family assembled by a missing fossil-hunter ever. OK, it is definitely the only book about that. And about the intricacies of being a child performer. Also, I'm pretty sure a pair of the minor characters are a lesbian academic couple, and that's pretty cool.
