Overview: Sam-Ellen has always been a reader and a writer, but it was the children’s classics she read at Uni that inspired her to create worlds as brilliant as those she read about.
She has been an actor, dancer, teacher, choreographer, author, bookseller, scriptwriter and many other things besides. She has published and won prizes for her short stories and scripts, but children’s books are where her heart lies. Dancing is one of her most favourite things in the whole world. She splits her time between Tasmania, Melbourne, and living in her own head.
Sam-Ellen is the author of Silver Shoes, a junior fiction dance series, and What the Raven Saw, a timeless tale for both children and adults.
Genre: Children
1. And All That Jazz
Meet four very different girls who all have one thing in common – they love to dance!
Eleanor Irvin is ten years old, and dancing is her everything. Tap, ballet, lyrical, and ballroom – she’s tried it all. But her favourite style, by far, is jazz.
When Miss Caroline, the owner of Silver Shoes Dance Studio, announces she will be selecting dancers to perform in the upcoming Jazz Groove Dance Competition, Ellie is over the moon! There’s only one problem, she’s not so good at auditions. Actually, there might be a few problems – Ellie’s dance enemy, Jasmine, seems determined to ruin her chances and the new girl, Ashley, is really talented. Will Ellie be able to overcome her nerves and hold on to the spotlight?
5. Broadway Baby
Ellie has a new love – musical theatre! She is determined to become a ‘triple threat’, but can she really sing, dance and act?
Jazz has always been Ellie’s thing, but since taking singing lessons at Silver Shoes, she has big dreams of making it on Broadway. Her chance to leap into this world comes when auditions for a grand musical are announced. Ellie is sure she has what it takes to be a star of the stage! That is, until she realises she needs to be able to tap, and until the all-too-perfect Cadence Kohdean comes into the picture. Will Ellie be able to tap her way to the top and become a leading lady?
6. Lights, Camera, Dance!
Ash is a true hip hop girl, but it seems a reggae-inspired dance style may have stolen her heart!
When an agent comes to Silver Shoes looking for the best junior dancers, everyone wants to strut their stuff. Although Ash acts like the class clown, she is desperate to get an interview. Luckily, her smooth dancehall moves grab the agent’s attention, and faster than Ash can ‘butterfly’ she has a shot at dancing in the coolest hip hop star’s new music video. But while Ash normally brings the attitude, on set her old Dance Art enemies are putting her off her game. Will Ash find her ‘flava’, or will dancehall be her downfall?
