Mia's mum who has just said she should not make so much noise as she will scare away their customers is now the one who squealing with delight. Not reading the review properly they all think Mia is going to Hollywood.


All this excitement becomes too much so Petra and Mia so they escape to the park and meet up with their friends who are also in the drama group, the Stage Stars. All members of the group are super happy especially as they are the ones who have won th new creative award at school instead of awards always being about sport. 


It is the summer holidays and they have plenty of time on their hands, especially now that Christmas has been and gone and Mia has a big secret that she seems bursting to tell her friend Petra.


Like the previous two books in the series, this is easy to read,  well written, full of exuberance and excitemnt and bursting with energy and humour. It is positive and sure to appeal to the age group with words to grow the readers vocabulary. This series seem to be improving with each new one in the series. The previous two are shown below in the section with other books you maybe interested in.


The series would make terrific presents.
