About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels overshadowed by a more outgoing or naturally talented sibling. It is perfect for the quiet child who feels like the supporting character in their own family dynamic. The story follows eleven-year-old Nicola, who constantly plays second fiddle to her younger sister, Rose, a pretty and willful budding star. When they both audition for a local show, Nicola must navigate feelings of resentment and invisibility. While the setting is centered around the world of dance and performance, the emotional core is about self-discovery and the realization that being the loudest person in the room is not the only way to be special. It is a gentle, realistic look at sibling rivalry and the quiet triumph of finding one's own unique path. Ideal for ages 8 to 12, this book provides a comforting roadmap for children learning to value their own steady strengths over flashy talent.
