About this Event
Join us for what promises to be a wonderful event with award-winning and bestselling author, Jacqueline Wilson at The Prince of Wales Theatre, Cannock. Jacqueline will be talking about her career and new book, Star of the Show, and there will also be an opportunity for children to ask questions.
Jacqueline Wilson takes readers back to the Victorian age in a heartwarming and evocative historical tale of family, poverty and theatrical dreams.
‘I’m going to a place called Grand Theatre and I’m going to be a dancer in a pantomime!’
Tess loves to dance, even when everything seems grim. After mum dies and pa leaves, she and her brothers and sisters are all alone, with hardly any food or money. With empty stomachs and scrambling for pennies, they’ve got to fend for themselves.
When Tess’s big brother and sister go out to look for work, she has to take care of their baby sister Ada. But Tess is determined that even though she is poor, she will still get to go to the ball…or at least to dance in the Cinderella pantomime at the Grand Theatre…
The Book & Ticket bundle includes a pre-signed hardback copy of Star of the Show (RRP £12.99), whilst stocks last.
