Blurb from Goodreads:

A snow-dusted love story.

In the Autumn of 1931, eighteen-year-old Freya Trevelyan runs away from her home in Cornwall to follow her dream of becoming an actress. When she is invited to join a theatrical company about to head out on tour, Freya thinks the path to success is clear, and, amidst all the glamour and bustle of stage life, she finds - for the first time - a place to belong. But can reality ever live up to her expectations? What if her life - and falling in love - turn out to be nothing like she planned? An enchanting coming of age romance about following your dreams - even when they aren't quite what you expected.

 

 

Why I'm Anticipating This Book:

I love Laura Wood's YA novels. They have so much heart and I love the characters. Plus the covers are so gorgeous.

This book is all about Freya who is the sister of Lou, the main character in A Sky Painted Gold, so I'm intrigued to find out what happens to her.

This week my pick is . . . 

Title: Under a Dancing Star

Author: Laura Wood

Pages: 356

Publisher: Scholastic

Release Date: 4th July

Blurb:

 

In grey, 1930s England, Bea has grown up kicking against the conventions of the time, all the while knowing that she will one day have to marry someone her parents choose - someone rich enough to keep the family estate alive. But she longs for so much more - for adventure, excitement, travel, and maybe even romance. When she gets the chance to spend the summer in Italy with her bohemian uncle and his fiancee, a whole world is opened up to Bea - a world that includes Ben, a cocky young artist who just happens to be infuriatingly handsome too. Sparks fly between the quick-witted pair until one night, under the stars, a challenge is set: can Bea and Ben put aside their teasing and have the perfect summer romance? With their new friends gleefully setting the rules for their fling, Bea and Ben can agree on one thing at least: they absolutely, positively will not, cannot fall in love... A long, hot summer of kisses and mischief unfolds - but storm clouds are gathering across Europe, and home is calling. Every summer has to end - but for Bea, this might be just the beginning.

Why I'm Anticipating This Book:

 I loved Laura's other YA book, A Sky Painted Gold, and this one sounds amazing - a Much Ado About Nothing prequel?! Yes, please!

Plus how gorgeous is that cover?!
