Mazy the Movie Star is BACK with a brand-new dog-tastic story about overcoming fears from actress and bestselling author Isla Fisher!
Everyone in Hollywoof knows Mazy the Movie Star’s name! And now, she’s ready for a new challenge: acting on STAGE! But when Mazy lands her dream role in Little Red Riding Hound, she suddenly gets a bad case of . . . STAGE FRIGHT!
Can Mazy learn to share her worries and overcome her fears? With a little help from her friends, perhaps she’ll find a way to shine wherever she goes!
Isla Fisher has worked in TV and film for 25 years. She has played many fun and different characters, but her favourite role is being a mummy to her three children and she has been making up stories at bedtime for them every night since they were born.
Paula lives in Bristol, UK, where she has worked as an illustrator for more than 10 years. She used to work in a preschool, where she got to run around pretending to be a crocodile, went on Bear Hunts and made play-dough cakes. As well as drawing, she loves getting out of the city for long walks and cycle trips in the fresh air. Oh, and she once learned to walk the tightrope!
