Bookroo's summary

Louise Cheese dreams of fame and the spotlight. When her teacher announces auditions for Cinderella in the school play, Louise sees her chance to shine. But will the role of a lifetime be hers, or will unexpected challenges dim her dreams? With humor and heart, this tale explores ambition, self-discovery, and the true meaning of being a star. Can Louise embrace her inner 'big cheese' and find her place in the limelight, or will she learn that being a star isn't all it's cracked up to be?

From the publisher

Let’s face it. Every girl has a little big cheese in her. Louise Cheese is no different. Night and day, Louise dreams of the limelight, lots of fuss, the red carpet, and more than anything to be the one and only Big Cheese. Finally, Louise gets her chance when her teacher, Mrs. Little, announces a casting call for the role of Cinderella in the school play. It’s Louise’s chance to be a star…or is it? With humor and heart and just a little attitude, Elise Primavera and Diane Goode tell a story that will inspire the inner big cheese in all who read it.
