| Synopsis: |
Just imagine being able to eat as many sweets, cookies and icecreams as you like, which are not bad for you, do not damage your teeth, or make you fatter or sick or even give you spots! Then imagine the most amazing fancy dress shop full of weird and wonderful things - masks for Halloween, witches and ghouls, witches' hats, broomsticks and even witches' cats - costumes for Batman, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella, wigs and lots of different types of make-up from a fairy princess to Dracula and Star Wars, and being able to try everything on whenever you want to! And lastly, imagine being "discovered" and becoming a pop star with your own band and appearing on stage just like you see on TV! Wouldn't any of these things be pure magic - a dream come true? Well all of these things happen to Samantha when she finds the Magic Sunglasses: their wonderful power supports her and shows her what you can do if you really try! Samantha is a quiet loving child, gifted and imaginative, but reduced to living in a world of her own by her uncaring family and her lonely humdrum life. One day she finds the Magic Sunglasses - or perhaps they find her?Now, these are certainly no ordinary sunglasses - they have a strange and marvellous power which supports and guides Samantha, allowing her to escape to the life she has only dreamt about before. Unusual and wonderful things start to happen to her. First of all she is "discovered" by Harry Hypealot while dancing to the juke box in the Great Chocolate Fantasy - an amazing shop where you can eat some of the clothes they sell as well as the ice creams, and the juke box looks like a giant box of smarties! Then Samantha learns to look at people in a very different way. She discovers that she can look into their minds and actually see what they are thinking - a sort of coloured 'halo' or 'shadow' shows their true character. When she goes to France to rescue her poisonous sister, Amanda, she can of course suddenly speak perfect French! Eventually, after many adventures, and with the help of Harry Hypealot, and her friend Miss Carly Cancan, the owner of The Witch's Wardrobe, Samantha becomes a pop star, more successful (some say) than the Spice Girls. At last her dream has come true. Then something amazing happens.Samantha realises she doesn't need the Magic Sunglasses anymore, because she has learnt to depend on the special power within herself. It is time to return them now, so they can help someone else with a dream - perhaps someone like you? |
