A warm and wise tale about the unique challenges of pre-teen life from a master of the genre.


Lucy has lived her entire life in her sister's shadow – Lola is always the centre of attention and constantly in need of new clothes for a party or kit for her dancing, meaning Lucy often goes without. But when a talent show comes to town, an unlikely ally helps Lucy step into the spotlight for once. Will Lucy discover her own star quality?

Particularly suitable for readers aged 7+ with a reading age of 7.
