Nine‑year‑old Lily would do almost anything to dodge a plié. Her lawyer father marches her into Capezio and orders fourteen‑year‑old Saundra, star of their Manhattan studio, to shepherd her through first position. One coveted place has opened in the American Ballet Company, and the supremely nasty Meredith Meredith plans to claim it.
Beneath Saundra’s perfect arabesques, Lily senses panic: losing the role would be crushing, but winning it might be worse. As Lily’s clumsy steps turn into the sheer thrill of movement, she devises a daring mind‑game to rattle Meredith Meredith before the decisive audition. Quick‑paced and city‑bright, The Sisters Impossible turns rivalry into radical sisterly loyalty—proof that when brains and heart team up, nothing onstage (or off) can throw them off balance.
