For future Top Ten Tuesday topics & info on how to participate, click here!

Jamie's Picks


1. Nastya from The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay: Nastya was a very talented and accomplished piano player until an incident in her life.

2. Lucy from The Lucy Variations by Sara Zarr: Lucy is a child prodigy in the piano world -- from a family of talented musicians! She gives it all up when a family member dies but she misses it.

3. Hannah from Bunheads by Sophie Flack: Hannah is a ballet dancer in a VERY competitive ballet company.

4. Carmen from Virtuosity by Jessica Martinez: Carmen is a talented violinist on her way who is trying to win a prestigious competition but her competition may just be the one she falls for.

5. Mia & Adam from If I Stay/Where She Went by Gayle Forman: Mia is a cellist with her sights on Julliard and Adam is in a rock band who is getting more recognition.

6. Amber from No Place To Fall by Jaye Robin Brown: Amber is a really good singer who sings solos at church but decides to dream big and pursue a bigger stage -- an audition for an arts school.

Jana's Pick:

7. Ana from Incarnate by Jodi Meadows: Ana is an amazing singer and a musician! Her and Sam really take music and use it as a way to connect and express themselves.

Kimberly's Picks

8. Willem De Rueter from Just One Year by Gayle Forman
Theatre is in this boy's soul! He's talented, and he LOVES the stage.

9. Franny Banks from Someday, Someday Maybe by Lauren Graham
This girl has all the love and passion a performer needs!

Julia's Pick:

10. Sebastian Grey in What Happens in London by Julia Quinn: So this isn't even his book but him performing dramatic readings from a romance novel of the time standing on a table is one of the scenes that stands out. He could totally act on stage!  


Tell us some of your favorite dancers, actors, singers, musicians, etc!

  7. This was an interesting topic for everyone. Lots of freedom to focus on what each person loves. Thanks for that!

  8. Fun topic! Novels, especially YA ones, are FULL of performing artists. It seems as if there's at least one in every teen novel I've read.
