Being a lover of MG myself am super excited to read these and they are just crying out to be read this summer!

So before the giveaway here’s a bit about each book to tempt you….

Meet eleven-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.
