    Please can I suggest a new children’s book, that’s getting great reviews.
    “The Missing Extra”
    by Jacky Rom
    ISBN: 9780956217202

    The Amazing Adventures of Starr ; Book 1 “THE MISSING EXTRA”
    Like every little girl her age, the bright and talented Starr Fox has ambitions to be a big movie star in Hollywood and sets off on a quest for fame with her mother. After plenty of determination the hard-working eleven-year-old finally gets her big break, landing the lead role in a movie called ‘The Secret’. Little Starr can’t believe her luck. But soon after the cameras start rolling; Starr discovers that it’s more than her acting skills that are put to the test, when one of the film’s extras goes missing.
    My friends have also read it and we all think it’s great.
