review 1: Marina is a student at the Soviet Union’s famed ballet school of the Bolshoi, where her mother is a prima ballerina. It seems that she is destined for an equally privileged life until one day her mother disappears and she and her father must flee with almost nothing. Ending up in Brighton Beach, her father insists that they live incognito and draw little attention by association with their previous lives. However, Marina comes to recognize that without dance she does not have a life and contrives to get an audition at Julliard. The story is tightly woven and narrated by its young heroine in a very believable voice
review 2: I read dancer daughter traitor spy for a school project. Based on the title and the blurb i expected something a little different. I ... morefelt that the writing was rushed and.... bad. The characters were not well developed at all. Unless you new a immense amount of stuff about the 80s of russia (or in general really) you probably wouldn't get the references. I think that although the book seemed to be written for young adults if you were not alive during the 80s or did not study the 80s the book could be quite confusing. Overall i was not impressed. less
