Als Violetta ein paar geheimnisvolle rote Ballettschuhe geschenkt bekommt, ahnt sie schon, dass es damit etwas Besonderes auf sich hat. Und tatsächlich, eines Tages tragen die roten Schuhe sie in ein wunderbares Zauberland - nach Fantasia. Dort trifft sie alle Figuren aus bekannten Ballettstücken.

Nach einem Stoss verletzt sich Violetta am Fuss. Wurde sie von der Konkurrentin gestossen? Wird sie die Hauptrolle tanzen können? Die Rahmenhandlung spielt - wie in den beiden vorherigen Bänden - in der realen Welt. Ihre roten Ballettschuhe ziehen sie in das Zauberreich Fantasia. Dort hat der grässliche Mäusekönig das Volk mit einem Bann belegt. Gemeinsam mit der Zuckerfee gelingt es Violetta trotz widriger Umstände, das Gegenmittel zu erlangen. Zurück in der realen Welt ist Violetta wundersam genesen. Mit den "magischen Ballettschuhen" will die Autorin und ehemalige Primaballerina am Londoner Royal Ballet die Geschichten der Ballettstücke (hier: Schwanensee) näherbringen. Zarte Bleistiftzeichnungen befinden sich zwischen dem fantasievollen und gut verständlichen Text. Am Ende wird mit Bild und Text eine Tanzfigur vorgestellt. Für ballettbegeisterte Leserinnen und Fantasy-Fans ist die Reihe nicht nur unterhaltsam, sondern unterschwellig auch lehrreich. Das Cover ist in Rot- und Gelbtönen mit Glitzersternen ansprechend gestaltet und als Reihe wiedererkennbar. Zur Fortsetzung empfohlen. Ab 7
