synopsis.
Olivia is a talented musician with a bright future. When a school talent show is announced, Olivia finds herself overwhelmed with anxiety at the prospect of performing in front of an audience. She comes face to face with her fears when she meets Worry, a pessimistic, sarcastic troublemaker who casts fear and doubt into the heart of everyone he meets. Olivia tries to learn from her classmates, who seem to cruise through life without a care in the world. Natasha; an effortlessly talented dancer, Steven; an insufferable know-it-all, Camryn; the star basketball player and Blake; the meanest, toughest kid in school. But things are not as they seem, and Olivia soon learns that she’s not the only one who struggles with Worry. The motley crew form an alliance and set out to conquer Worry in time for the talent show.
Will they find a way to defeat Worry? Will Olivia find the courage to enter the talent show? And who will win the giant jar of lollies?! Find out in…
