Summary

Meet 11-year-old Dara Palmer. She loves dancing and dreams of being a world famous actress - which means she has to get the main part in the school play.

When she doesn't get any part at all, Dara begins to wonder whether it's because of her looks rather than her acting skills.

But Dara has big ideas - and is determined not to let prejudice stop her from being in the spotlight.
