'Take the Hope or the Dream or the Song or the Dance.You might choose the Joke. You might take the Chance.Take the Risk or the Scare or the Stunt or the Rip.What prize will you pick from today's lucky dip?'Precious Little wants to be a trapeze artist but no one in the circus encourages her - apart from Fat Chance and Tough Luck, who run the lucky dip. Precious Little practises her skills, but it's only when she takes a risk in the lucky dip that she really takes off. A heart-stirring story about the rewards of perseverance, friendship and taking a chance.
