When fashion-minded Nonie meets Crow, she recognizes the twelve-year-old Ugandan girl's gift for design. With aid from family and friends--including a supermodel and a famous actress--Nonie helps Crow showcase her talent with a collection at London's Fashion Week. This wish-fulfillment fantasy is a little dull (except for descriptions of the wild outfits), but the altruistic message adds heart.
