The Bed and Breakfast Star

by Jacqueline Wilson

Elsa dreams of being a famous comedian—she’s got a joke for every occasion, even if no one’s laughing much these days. After her stepdad loses his job, Elsa and her family are forced to move into the gloomy Royal Hotel, crammed together in a single room. Life is tough, and tensions run high, but Elsa keeps cracking jokes to lift everyone’s spirits. Then, when a disaster hits the hotel, Elsa faces a moment that could change everything—and discovers that being a star isn’t just about being funny, but about being brave when it counts.
