by Noel Streatfeild

Selina can’t believe her luck when a surprise parcel arrives—a stunning evening dress and shiny satin shoes, the kind of gift she’s only dreamed of. She’s desperate for a special occasion to wear them, but with the war still going on, the adults have no time for parties.

Not to be discouraged, Selina and her cousins come up with a plan: they’ll put on a pageant, complete with songs, dances, and costumes. But will Selina find the perfect part to show off her wonderful new outfit?
