Not only that, but she's forced to hang around with the young stars of the show, who aren't exactly lining up to be her friends.

Read Polly's wonderfully funny diary as she records the mishaps and mayhem backstage, before all of a sudden the spotlight is on her!

Dee Shulman has created a real hit for young readers with her charming full-colour illustrations and interactive concept for "My Totally Secret Diary".
