But then the chance to meet her favourite boyband AZ8 in real life changes everything, and Skylar must decide whether her K-pop dream come true is worth risking being stuck as an old lady for ever… \n\nSinging with laugh-out-loud moments, this is a joyful and uplifting tale of friendship, fandom and chasing your dreams.
