Drama
by Rainia Telgemeier
Buy on AmazonCallie loves theater. And while she would totally try out for her middle school's production of Moon over Mississippi, she can't really sing. Instead she's the set designer for the drama department's stage crew, and this year she's determined to create a set worthy of Broadway on a middle-school budget. But how can she, when she doesn't know much about carpentry, ticket sales are down, and the crew members are having trouble working together? Not to mention the onstage AND offstage drama that occurs once the actors are chosen. And when two cute brothers enter the picture, things get even crazier!

"I like it because it is a story book but it has tonnes of facts in it – especially about Shakespeare – I learned that he was a really famous play writer. He wrote a play called Twelfth Night . I liked the main character in the book – she is funny and a bit crazy and she is in love with a boy called Jesse. It’s a story about really nice and kind friends. It made me want to do a play with my friends. I’ve read all Rainia Telgemeier’s books – Smile was a bit gory as it’s about a girl’s teeth. Sisters is my other favourite. Ghosts is quite scary – exciting scary not nightmare scary. She also did The Babysitters Club series – I love these."
