About Molly’s Got Talent
Princess Molly enters a talent quest with the best intentions …
… but she never expects two powerful forces to rise to stop her.
Usually, on Sunday afternoons, Molly goes to visit her good friend, Cook Henny, at the orphanage. They love having fancy tea parties together. But something is different today, and it makes Molly very upset.
Cook Henny isn’t well and her life is about to change.
Imagine Molly’s surprise when she is invited to sing in a talent quest and given the chance to win enough money to buy a special gift to help her friend.
But right away, she encounters a big problem. Someone doesn’t want her in the competition and plays nasty pranks, hoping she will give up and go home. On top of that, a dark fear from her past makes Molly feel like she can’t breathe.
In order to have a chance at winning the prize and helping her friend, Cook Henny, Molly has to face her worries and stand up to the bully. She’ll need to be very brave. Can she do it?
This allegorical story won’t just have your 8-11-year-old glued to the pages long past bedtime—it’s also a tale that weaves in lessons on resilience and how to handle fear.
Perfect for fans of Kate DiCamillo, Roald Dahl and Enid Blyton.

Author Bio:
Inspired by a multitude of mystery stories, the young teenage Carmen Allen had a dream of her own – to become a fiction writer for children.
Her first attempt at writing, which by the way, included a riveting plot involving a missing banana and stolen diamond, was penned secretly in science class when she should have been listening to her teacher.
Fast forward many years and we see Carmen’s dream come true with the debut of her children’s book, ‘Molly’s Big Decision’. Carmen writes about children of character in a world of wonder.
Downtime for Carmen usually involves reading an action novel that champions a hero performing remarkably brave feats. Carmen also loves to bake, design or chat with a friend over a good cup of coffee. She lives on the East Coast of Australia, with her husband – childhood sweetheart.
Carmen is a finalist in The Wishing Shelf Awards, 2023.
