Molly's Got Talent

By Carmen Allen

Book Overview

Princess Molly enters a talent quest with the best intentions ...

... but she never expects two powerful forces to rise to stop her.

Usually, on Sunday afternoons, Molly goes to visit her good friend, Cook Henny, at the orphanage. They love having fancy tea parties together. But something is different today, and it makes Molly very upset.

Cook Henny isn't well and her life is about to change.

Imagine Molly's surprise when she is invited to sing in a talent quest and given the chance to win enough money to buy a special gift to help her friend.

But right away, she encounters a big problem. Someone doesn't want her in the competition and plays nasty pranks, hoping she will give up and go home.

On top of that, a dark fear from her past makes Molly feel like she can't breathe.

In order to have a chance at winning the prize and helping her friend, Cook Henny, Molly has to face her worries and stand up to the bully. She'll need to be very brave. Can she do it?

This allegorical story won't just have your 8-11-year-old glued to the pages long past bedtime-it's also a tale that weaves in lessons on resilience and how to handle fear.

Perfect for fans of Kate DiCamillo, Roald Dahl and Enid Blyton.
