![]() Drina gets all the exciting opportunities and the mean girls are nasty about it. ![]() Drina finds a friend and life gets better. There's a lot of telling rather than showing.Īnd there's a certain degree of formula: Drina is forced into an unfamiliar setting and it is the WORST THING EVER. In many ways, they aren't terribly good - although we mainly follow Drina, the narrative jumps heads whenever it's convenient to insert someone else's reaction. (Bwahahaha.)Īnd I'm enjoying them very much, in a soothing kind of way. Now of course, things like Amazon exist, making it easy to collect cheap used books on a whim. I could have told you that even before I learned that book 11 is called "Drina Ballerina." I am positive that sooner or later, she will dance all the famous roles she dreams of. I mean, obviously, Drina grows up to be a wildly successful ballerina. But I'd never gotten my hands on the rest of the 11-book series, and I always wondered what exactly happened to everyone. ![]() I've owned #2 since I was six or seven, and I think I must have found #1 at a library at some point in my childhood it was very familiar. I've started working my way through the Drina books over the last month or so. ![]()
