Cloudberry Castle by Janey Louise Jones
Katie Mackenzie has always dreamed of being a prima ballerina like her mother. When their neighbour Dr Campbell dies, much to their surprise he leaves Cloudberry Castle to the Mackenzie family. Katie is devastated at the loss of her old friend, but soon her plans for transforming the crumbly old castle into the most wonderful ballet school in Scotland flood her mind! But Katie's parents can't afford to run a huge castle, and decide to sell. As Katie struggles to put off potential buyers -- with ghosts, squatters and funny smells -- her ballet school hopes begin to fade. Will her dream of the Cloudberry School of Dance ever come true? A delightful ballet story, full of gorgeous girly charm.
