Ever since she was six years old, Carrie Weingarten has wanted to be an actress. So when Mrs Wessex announces that their fifth grade class will be putting on a modern version of Cinderella, Carrie couldn't be more excited - or terrified.
Carrie loves the stage, but there's just one little problem - she has horrible stage fright! Whenever Carrie's in front of a crowd, her palms get sweaty, her heart starts pounding, and she totally freaks. Just last week she was giving an oral report on Egypt and she accidentally called King Tut ‘Ting Kut’. Talk about embarrassing! Carrie's all but ready to resign herself to a life of just making sets.
That is, until the unicorn on her bookmark suddenly comes to life. But how will a two-and-a-half-centimetre-tall beauty-obsessed unicorn named Bob be able to convince Carrie that she should come out from behind the curtain and take her place in the spotlight?
