Marion, a wooden doll, her friend Harley and their dog Polka, enter the imaginary World of Fame where Marion becomes a glamorous Star. But she learns painfully that stardom has a use-by-date. Her experience changes her forever but her true friends still love her. The story explores the superficiality of stardom and the value of true friendship Notes NSW Premier's reading challenge 5-6 Audience For primary school age Notes Teacher notes reproduced with permission of Australian Standing Orders/Scholastic Subject Animals -- Juvenile fiction -- Pictorial works.
