Third Place Books welcomes ballet teacher and writer Miriam Landis to our Ravenna store! Landis will be discussing her new middle-grade novel, Lauren in the Limelight, in conversation with Peter Boal, the artistic director for the Pacific Northwest Ballet. This event is free and open to the public.

About Lauren in the Limelight. . .
As she begins 6th grade, Lauren Lightfoot wants nothing more than to get her first pair of pointe shoes, enjoy her love for ballet, and spend time with her friends. Lauren and her friends Bryan and Serena are challenged to define themselves both on stage and in the world when they audition for the Pacific Northwest Ballet School and compete for roles in the spring recital.
