Review
Fifteen-year-old Kate wants to be an actress or performer on the stage, like her opera singing grandfather before her, but she has anxiety about her appearance.
When trying out for the lead in the upcoming Year 10 musical Kate doesn’t believe she is good enough and, guess what, she is right.
But when she is given another important role, her moving performance lights up the show, and she realises that she needs to follow her dream and do her best in any role that she gets.
This is a terrific and easy to read novel with themes of self-esteem and overcoming self-doubt, together with the importance of supportive families and friends to help you be you best.
A great read for those in the lower secondary years.
