"Her natural grace promises to elevate her in the district dance competitions — but these efforts distract her from seeing the growing resentments of local merchants who disapprove of her family’s business strategies. Enmired in the self-satisfactions and unnamed timidities of childhood, Galinda finds in herself neither canniness nor the need to cultivate it," it continues.

The synopsis adds: "However, as her father deftly pivots around the snares and nets laid for him by his competitors, Galinda begins to dance toward a life that might lift her above her proud, if hardscrabble, childhood."
Galinda: A Charmed Childhood is set to drop the 29th of September 2026 - So set your alarms!
