Being cast as Clara in the Nutcracker ballet is a dream come true for Georgie but when she finds herself sucked into the Nutcracker's world her dream becomes more real than she ever imagined.

"Give the gift of ballet and magic this Christmas with an original take on The Nutcracker ballet! Georgie has waited for this moment her whole life--to dance the part of Clara in The Nutcracker ballet. And when she finally gets the part, it's like a dream come true. . . . Literally. Every time Georgie dances with the Nutcracker doll, she leaves the ballet studio and enters a world where everything around her-the old wooden furniture, the Christmas tree, the carefully wrapped presents-is larger than life. It's so magical, Georgie can't wait to return again and again. Then the Nutcracker's magic seeps into the real world, putting Georgie's friend in danger. Everything is falling apart, and it's almost Christmas! Can Georgie save her friend, the Nutcracker, and most of all, herself?"--Provided by amazon.
