Opening sentence
The night we became famous, we were trees in our school production of Beauty and the Beast.
This story is about a children's dance group who set out to work who stole a famous piece of jewellery at the hotel they are performing in. There are some quite funny parts that children will enjoy; for example when the flamingo costume head falls off.
It is an easy read, with fun illustrations, that children will enjoy for personal reading. There is also a quiz at the end of the book.
This is the first in the series, so it would be a good book to continue with.
Do you have any advisory warnings for this book? No
Would this book work as a read aloud? No
Is there a particular part of the country that it’s set in? Not sure - the Hotel is Spanish themed
