"It's a new school year, and Mia can't wait to be in class with her best friends, Anna and Ruby. But Mia is upset to discover that she has a different teacher than her friends. Will Mia still twirl into the classroom? On with the show!"--P. [4] of cover.

"The big recital is just around the corner, and all of the students in Miss Bird's dance class are busy getting ready. The stage is designed, the costumes are picked, and the dancers must practice, practice, practice! But when Mia decides to practice on her way home from class, she falls and hurts her paw. Oh, no! Can Mia still be part of the big day? Miss Bird might have the perfect part for Mia after all."--Dust jacket.

Mia and her best friend, Ruby, are excited to learn a new dance together, until the day of class, when Ruby is not feeling well and Mia must find a new partner, but when Ruby returns and Mia suddenly has two partners, she must come up with a creative solution that will make everyone happy.

This whimsical retelling of the Nutracker Ballet has Mia the ballerina kitten in the starring role.
