Amazon.com: Dance, Kayla!: Books: Darwin McBeth Walton (567 words) |
 | While the family relationships and personalities are believable, some of the extraneous characters are less than credible: the stereotypical racist store owner, snobbish classmates who demean Kayla's language style, a gang member who steals and then uncharacteristically returns her prized locket. |
| Kayla is a likable character who elicits empathy from readers; it will matter to them that she discovers the true meaning of family and that her dreams of ballet come to fruition. |
| After Gran's death, Kayla's grandfather thinks it's best to send Kayla away from the small farming community to live with her aunt and uncle's family in Chicago. |
