Little Darlings

Summary

Now a miniseries on Sky Kids - catch Sunset and Destiny on your TV!

"I don't know her, I don't even know her name, and yet I don't feel shy with her."

Sunset lives a life of luxury. Her mum is a beautiful ex-model, her dad is a world-famous rock star and her little siblings are celebrities! But life on the red carpet is no compensation for arguing parents, media scrutiny, and having no real friends.

Destiny, on the other hand, lives on a rundown estate. She's an only child with a sickly but devoted mum who constantly tells her she's the daughter of a famous Rockstar.

When the two girls meet in unlikely circumstances, they find in each other something they've been missing all their lives.

"Topical, wise and, ultimately feel-good story from the mistress of the confessional genre." - Frances Perkins

Reviews

  • [The] two narrators transcend their circumstances. They draw us into their story so that we are rooting for them rather than being dragged down by the challenges they face
