A classic story from beloved author Noel Streatfeild, set in the film studios of California in the 1940s. Perfect for children aged 9+ and for all fans of Ballet Shoes and The Secret Garden.

Jane is the plain middle child in the Winter family. Beside her older sister, a talented ballet-dancer, and her little brother, a piano prodigy, Jane feels completely unnoticed - by everyone but her pet spaniel, Chewing-gum.

When her family suddenly leaves London for California and poor Chewing-gum must stay behind, Jane is heartbroken. But her luck changes in the bright new world of America: she is unexpectedly cast in a Hollywood movie of The Secret Garden! Could this be Jane's chance to shine at last?

Featuring much-loved characters from Ballet Shoes.
