Summary:
Pauline, Petrova and Posy are three orphans who were adopted by Great Uncle Matthew (or GUM, or short) and given the surname "Fossil" after his hobby of fossil collecting. GUM sets off on a long sea voyage and the money he has left behind for the care of the children is running out fast, when they are accepted as charity pupils at the Children's Academy of Dancing and Stage Training. There they determine to make the name "Fossil" famous, each in their own particular way.
They different personalities and talents of the children are vividly described. Posy is by far the best dancer, Pauline is a brilliant actress and Petrova - well, Petrova is more interested in aeroplanes. This beautiful story in which children succeed on their own, without running to grown-ups for help, will inspire every reader to strive to fulfill their own life ambitions, and to persevere until they achieve them.
