Good book.

At the beginning I thought I might want to turn it back into the library. But as I got farther into it, the harder it was to but down. I love how Han Nolan used very describing words and made you feel like you were part of the book. Miracle is so messed up, but it was a very good book.

just plain magical

when i first started this book, i was skeptical because the whole spiritguide medium thing seemed a bit ridiculous, but i kept on reading and i can honestly say this is one of my favorites. you just have to keep reading even if it doesnt catch your attention at first, because the book it truly wonderful. i wanted to throw the book down the first day but im glad i didnt give up. i can picture the ending and it gets me everytime.

Not The easiest...

i am read this book for english. god, it took me 2 months to truly finish, and im not a slow reader. miracle is such a complex character it is hard to stay with the book. it was very well writen, but god, some things that she thought made me want to through the book at the wall. she had a strange belief system, which ultimately led to her true breakdown. but she recovered way too quickley. her thoughts were too, out there for my taste. if for any english class, avoid at all cost.

Five Star Book!

This is a great book. You just want to read more! Miracle, the main character, is dealing with the disapearance of her father. Her grandmother isn't much help, and her grandfather is a complete stranger to her. Once again, great book!

Da bomb

I think this book was so awesome. Infact I am reading it right now! I love the details it gives and basicly the whole story. I am still dying to here the ending. i am just at the part where Miracle is at the bus station and Gigi has just left her the without any money to go home.

one of the best books ever!

I don’ really think there is a main idea to this book. I believe it was just written to give the reader entertainment. Even without a main idea, this book was absolutely amazing.
The book is about a young girl named Miracle. Her life is ridiculously interesting and crazy. She has no mother, her father ‘melts’, she lives with her crazy aunt, an uncle who barely shows himself to anyone, everything thinks her and her entire family are totally insane, and she can’t do the one thing she loves to do… dance.
This book kept me totally interested and on the tips of my toes. So many exciting and unexpected things happen all through the book. The entire time reading the book my heart raced and my imagination ran wild thinking of what could possibly happen next. It’s a lot different from other stories like Cinderella, and The Shakespeare’s Stealer but I personally think it’s a lot better, too. This book is most definitely one of the best.
As I have said before, this book was completely amazing. I could read it over and over and over again, and would never get tired of all the thrill and excitement this book holds within its pages. There is no main idea or reason for writing except to keep you, the reader, entertained.As I have said before, this book was completely amazing.

The only book I can read over and over..

I first read this when I was eleven and completely fell in love with it. I assumed that it would be all about dance, perhaps ballet, in the beginning but it is so much more than that. I have read this multiple times and it happens to be the only fiction novel I can read more than once. It is heartfelt and connects you with the character. You learn to care about her and feel almost sorry for all that she goes through. It takes a certain kind of person to write in such a way and Han Nolan is it.

Alright

This book was okay. I felt the first half of the book was kind of boring. Part two of the book was more interesting.

We Love This Book

We are 14 and 13 years old respectively, and we both read this book.

Shelby: When I read the book, "Dancing on the edge" I thought it was about a girl that dance 'til the end of her life, but it was way different than I expected. The girl, Miracle, (I love that name!!) has a very weird family who treats her like dust. I thought that was just wrong, but when I got deeper, so did the story's plot. The father disappears, they move, she dances behind her grandmother's back, and everything goes whack. Miracle knows the truth, her Aunt lies, and her grandmother thinks kidnapping is a solution!? This book brought me to a world that I already knew.my mind. I know it's weird, but that's what I like. I'm 14 yrs. Old and this book is my world. Read it to be inspired.

Kaitlyn: I am a 13 year old girl, and I love this book. I think anyone 12 years and older should read it. Han Nolan did a wonderful job. It is on my top 10 best books I have ever read list. When I read the book I couldn't put it down. It just keeps getting better and better as the story went on. Please read it. At least give a shot.

Eh

This was perfectly average. Interesting, but not captivating.

Strange, but very good!

This is the second book I have read from Han Nolan and I loved it. I couldn't put it down. Poor Miracle was sooooo messed up! I just would have liked to know what happened to Dane and Gigi in the end.

Great

This book was really amazing. I think that anyone who feels confused about anything in their life should read this, because I'm sure they can relate to some of the problems that occur in the story.

I would Definately recommend this book if you are into Magic, and spells

This book was definitely a good book. Especially if you are into some magic, and spells. You might have to look up some words if your vocabulary isn¿t that great. But other than that it's a great book. It doesn¿t really take long to read especially if you are into it, neither is it that hard to understand either. By the middle of the book you will hate to put it down. It's not that great when you first start reading it, but don't get discouraged. Keep reading it and the farther you get the more you will get into it.

Review

This book is incredible! It is well written and has a great plot. I would highly recommend this book.

Loved it!!

I think I read this book 20 times, and I'm not exagerating. This was a great story of what cold happen in one girls life.

i loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i love this book so because it tells you to be thankful what you have for example your mom and dad. i felt so sorry for micrale because she has no mom or a dad. i very very very very very very very very very very very very love this book a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

god sent her a miracle

Dancing on the Edge is the story of Miracle McCloy, who blames herself for a lot of her family's problems. She was born from her dead mother, she finds herself in the emergency room when she tries to melt herself by burining herself to be with her dead father she constantly moves from place to place, she lives with her aunt and uncle who constantly argues,her grandmother Gigi who believes in spirits and auras influences her life, her grandaddy Opal who encourages her to dance and to become a prodigy like her father... this is one that you will enjoy.

This Book was boring

This book interested me none. It was to much with faith and the 'truth' of what you think when you have onesided views on everything. This had to be one of the worst books i have ever read. So in close please dont read this book and save yourself some time.
