THE BALTER OF ASHTON HARPER

THE BALTER OF ASHTON HARPER by Millie Florence

Sometimes in our lives, while pursuing our dreams or attempting to help someone out, everything goes wrong. Sometimes, when that occurs, we stop hoping and dreaming, desiring to play it "safe." That's where Ashton Harper finds himself in The Balter of Ashton Harper.

Ashton and his sisters are known for their piano playing and ballroom dancing. When an opportunity arises for them to win a scholarship at the prestigious Overmorrow Academy, the girls jump for it, but Ashton isn't so sure. After all, someone else could easily win the scholarship, and if they did, would going through the heartache of losing really be worth it?

This is a great read for middle graders that enjoy Jane Austen type Regency Era books.

HEADS UP- Just a tiny one. There is a small amount of magic in the book. Located in some ruins is an area that helps you remember the past and emotions associated with the memories.
