Ballet Shoes for Anna by Noel Streatfeild
2.0
The three children had been orphaned after their parents and grandparents died from terrifying earthquake along with the village. It's just vanished as if it was never existed.
So the children was led by Sir William and they were sent to live with their cheapskate paternal Uncle, Cecil from Britain. The children hate their Uncle but shows kindness towards their Aunt, Mabel.
They made friends with Wally (his parents sell clothes etc) and their twin neighbour, Jonathan and Priscilla.
Anna, the youngest needs to learn dancing but she is very picky to choose the teacher. She wants the best teacher to teach her as their grandfather whom they called Jardek told Anna to find the best teacher. So the eldest of them Francesco and the middle Gussie tried hard to pay her dancing class and unluckily Gussie joined a bad gang but the truth went out and finally they met Sir William again and somehow Sir William is the one who will take care of them by sending the boys to boarding school and provide Anna her dancing class witg Madam Scarletti who turned out knew Jardek well.
Frankly speaking, I don't like Anna's character because as if she never appreciate teacher's quality. And the story itself from getting interesting to rather drown and the ending was a bit of disappointment.
