I found this scrolling through my library's electronic catalog. I listened to it in one sitting while I was working on birthday presents for a friend. After I was done, I immediately went searching for more, but this was the only one they had :(

READ IN DUTCH
This is the sequel to the first story in Tina Topper 66. I always liked to collect them, even though the stories weren't always that good.
They are still a quick and nice read for children around age 10-12.

Bollywood Babes by Narinder Dhami is the second in a trilogy that I'm reading backwards. It didn't mean to do it that way but that's how it worked out. I still need to read the first of the series, Bindi Babes.
In this middle volume, the three sisters have been roped into helping plan a fundraiser for their school by their well meaning but sometimes smothering Auntie. A chance meeting with former Bollywood starlet Molly Mahal gives them the inspiration they need; they'll make her the star attraction.
Molly was the character that really sold the story for me. She's like so many former stars who have fallen on hard times. Growing up in California, I can remember similar stories of one time screen idols living in flop houses and struggling to pay bills.
But being a comedy, the sisters' offer of help is taken to the extreme and they begin to doubt their decision. It's familiar story especially in comedies. It's fun to see how the sisters cope with their demanding guest and how they try to stay focused on the fundraising at the same time.
