Synopsis: In Betty Jo Schuler's young adult novel Dare to Dream, published by Books We Love, Kaitlin Thomas's best friend Melinda Vest is beautiful with skin the color of coffee ice cream. Tall for eleven, she walks with her shoulders thrown back like she owns the world and plans to become a model. Vanilla, plain, and shy, Kait doesn't have enough self-confidence to walk down the aisle in her own mother's wedding. Add an adorable, mod stepsister-to-be, who's also in the wedding, and the mix gets scarier. A pesky boy, Izzy Bean, taunts Kait into signing up at Star Modeling, where she gains poise. Then she wins a Dream Wedding for her mom and Vic Margola.

When Kaitlin Thomas finally overcomes her shyness, she's forced to do it in front of the whole world, but her best friend Melinda cheers her on as she finally dares to dream.

My Review: Kaitlin's mum is about to remarry and she wants Kaitlin to be a flower girl but Kaitlin thinks she is to old and she is also super shy and doesn't want the guests staring at her, her mum promotes her to junior bridesmaid hoping that this will change Kaitlin's mind about being in the wedding party but it doesn't.

Kaitlin's friend Mel convinces her to join her in auditioning for a modeling agency, she is unsure at first but when she starts being taunted by an annoying boy she signs up and joining the agency helps to give her a bit more courage.

While shopping Kaitlin signs up to win a dream wedding for her mum which she regrets straight away but its to late and she ends up winning.


This short story shows that being shy and nervous is okay and that if you put your mind to it you can overcome them.
