Quiet, shy Flora Young is alarmed when her teacher, Mrs Camp, announces that she wants to give Flora a part in the school play. Especially since she'll have to wear a dirty old mask found at the back of the stock cupboard. But when Flora tries the mask on, she discovers it makes her feel difference - assertive and in charge. And it soon becomes clear that it's having the reverse effect on Mrs Camp! How can Flora make the most of her new-found confidence while it lasts?
