A worthy companion to Hannah's Great Decision by the same author/artist. Claire's mother dreams of her daughter becoming a famous film star; Claire dreams of becoming a vet. The world being what it is Claire endures stage school, auditions and fame via TV commercial for mother's sake. Salvation comes in the shape of Mr Fasolini who understands and produces a fairy godfather solution. A delightful book with engaging and amusing pictures full of the detail of contemporary life.
