Orca Limelights is a series of short young adult novels centered on the performing arts. Each standalone book follows a teen protagonist navigating the pressures and excitement of dance, music, theater, or film alongside the usual challenges of adolescence.
Published by Orca Book Publishers, the series shares the same accessible, hi-lo format as Orca Soundings but with a specific focus on creative pursuits. Titles like Off Pointe, Breaking Big, and High Note give readers behind-the-scenes looks at various performance disciplines.
With 24 titles from a range of authors, the series covers everything from ballet and hip-hop to stand-up comedy and filmmaking. The books appeal to teens who are passionate about the arts as well as general readers who enjoy stories about dedication, competition, and self-expression.
