Summary

A very entertaining audiobook about life at stage school in the 1950s by the author of Ballet Shoes.

Rachel and Hilary are sent to live with their ambitious aunt who runs a stage school, training a troupe of dancing girls. It's heaven for Hilary who loves to perform, but quite the opposite for quiet Rachel. The last thing Rachel wants is to become one of her aunt's Little Wonders—particularly if it means behaving like their irritating show-off of a cousin....

A mischievous, fun and moving story about young performers, from the acclaimed author of the classic Ballet Shoes.

Absolutely lovely

I’m an adult, but I loved this tale of growing up, and Daphne Kouma is absolutely perfect for this kind of audio book.
