About This Book
This charming chapter book follows Orla, a young girl who feels overshadowed by her talented sister. She enters a photography competition hoping to find her own niche, but her initial attempts are clumsy. Her luck changes when Flame, a magical chocolate-brown kitten, enters her life, offering subtle guidance and encouragement. The story gently explores themes of self-confidence, sibling rivalry, and perseverance, all wrapped in a heartwarming tale of friendship and a touch of magic. It's ideal for early elementary readers who enjoy animal stories and a sprinkle of fantasy.
Orla enters a photography contest to prove she is as good at something as her sister but she has trouble even remembering to take the lens cap off her camera, until Flame comes along and helps her work toward her dream of winning.
