Movie Shoes (#6) door Noel Streatfeild

Life is tough for the Winter family in London, with little money and Dad out of work. Luckily Aunt Cora comes to the rescue with an invitation to live in California. From that moment on, talented Rachel and Tim dream of stardom in America.

Could this be the chance of a lifetime?
