But her best friend Fern gets the part...and Louise is only a mouse. Louise decides never to talk to Fern again & she sticks to it. (The Cheese family is secretly pleased Louise will not be leaving them for the big city and stardom) But on the fateful night of the big performance, Louise gets to be a star, a star friend, by helping Fern out & their friendship is saved!
AAAY-dorable from the comic-book endpapers to the smilin' illustrations by Diane Goode (who pun intended is ALWAYS good) to the mighty fine storyline...which is thankfully just the first in a series; Louise has three more adventures you can enjoy. A sneaky lesson in friendship and good sportsmanship...and a good story too boot.
I have one tiny quibble and it includes a slight spoiler: I found it a stretch that Fern only forgot her last line in the play when she was the star of the whole show, but that's OK...loved it anyhoo! & you will too.
