Dolores on Her Toes — Barbara Samuels

Dolores discovers ballet â€" and the limits of friendship

"Duncan is my best friend," Dolores says about her cat. "And best friends do everything together." So when Dolores gets caught up in the world of ballet, she's certain that Duncan will love it as much as she does. But will he? When Duncan suddenly disappears, Dolores is heartbroken. Is it possible that her best friend, wearing her best tutu, has run away from home? In order to track down Duncan (and her tutu), Dolores turns detective -- and in the process discovers a few things about what it means to be a friend.

From the lively endpapers to the surprising finale, this is full of spunk and spirit -- and the fun of spotting Duncan in all the places Dolores doesn't look!
