Drina Ballet Series #9 Drina Dances in Switzerland

"I almost can't talk about it," Drina said.  "I feel so awful about the whole thing.  Rose, I'm not going to be at the Dominick at all this winter..." 

When her grandmother insists that Drina accompanies them to Lugano for the winter, because of her grandfather's health, Drina is heartbroken, but determined to stick it out.  Misunderstood at Miss Selby's finishing school, she feels completely cut off from her friends at the Dominick and her ballet world.  But Drina cannot live without dancing and she creates her own ballet around her, to be rewarded in the end.

The above summary is from the publisher.

The plot is mildly annoying since it consists of a contrived roadblock to keep Drina away from the Dominick school for no good reason.  Aside from that and a good bit of travelogue content, the story is engaging and compelling.

This is a very good book.
