Olivia is sad & lonely & angry
- angry that she`s been dumped with her sister eel at her grandmother`s school, & angrier still that that school turns out to be a stage school where there`s no encouragement for her to do what she loves best: practice her circus skills. But in the course of a turbulent first term, Olivia finds out much more than she bargained for about the theatre, about friendship, about enemies, about her family & about herself.
