The Sugar Plum Ballerinas series by Whoopi Goldberg is a six-book sequence for young readers set at the Nutcracker School of Ballet in Harlem. The books follow a group of girls learning ballet and navigating the social world of the school, with each book focusing on a different character’s perspective. The series ran from Plum Fantastic in 2008 to Dancing Diva in 2012.

The books were co-written with children’s author Deborah Underwood. They are set in Harlem specifically, giving the series a clear sense of place and a diverse cast of characters that was relatively unusual in mainstream children’s dance fiction at the time of publication.

The series is designed to be read in order, following the same group of dancers through successive stories. Individual books can be enjoyed on their own, but the continuing characters and their relationships develop more meaningfully when read from the beginning.
