on the thin, tight-rope. The audience
claps and cheers!

confidently to the end of the rope.

cheers! The wonderchildren smile and feel alive!
The audience smile and feel alive! The
whole of the wonderworld feels alive!

looks left, looks right and then looks all
around, but no-one can see them
anywhere!

28. When everyone starts to leave, mirror girl gives them all
a pocket mirror. Every-time they hold it up to each
other, they too can see everyone in wonderworld
supporting them and then they realise their own special
powers, to share with the world.
