I picked this up from a library used book sale. It sounded intriguing, but now I think it's a little too out-there.
Adding to the Shrinking Teen bookbox. Enjoy!

My daughter, RCOUFAN and I will look through and read/release or pass on the books in some way. Thanks for sharing!
Book Description: Miracle McCloy is the child of a talented dancer, who died in childbirth, and a brilliant, reclusive novelist. Raised by her grandmother Gigi, a psychic, Miracle becomes a dancer herself, and a loner who believes in mystical spirits and auras. Then her father disappears. When no one can give an explanation, or even a version of the truth, Miracle becomes obsessed with contacting him and bringing him back. As she loses herself in her quest, she loses her self - and, in a last, desperate attempt, sends her life up in flames. In the page-turning tradition of best-selling novels I Never Promised You a Rose Garden and The Bell Jar, Dancing on the Edge gives readers a story - and a heroine - they will never forget.

My Review: Really interesting book. I thought it would be a funny, fantasy type of story, but it definitely took a dark turn about half way through. If you are looking for a funny, light-hearted story, this is not it. It's more like The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath or Go Ask Alice by Anonymous.
