The hilarious and heartwarming adventures of Mia Megastar continue in this third instalment.

Hi, I'm Mia! Since my drama group put on our epic play, the spotlight is on me. I thought I wanted to be a big star, but . . . do I really?

YES! - Mum and Dad's shop is busier than ever. - Everyone thinks I'm good enough to be a REAL actor. - The Stage Stars are filming a scary movie and it's SO much fun! - Maybe I'll get to audition for my favourite TV show.

NO! - Mum and Dad are busier than ever. - Everyone keeps staring at me - it's making me cringe. - The Stage Stars are my best friends. I don't want things to change. - What if I audition . . . and don't get the part?

Luckily, I have my awesome friends and family to help me decide.
