Readers Annotation: Callie is a theater girl. She loves everything about it, but cannot sing well at all. She decides she wants to make the set the best the school has ever seen!
Plot:
As Callie sets out to create the best set for the school play, she is met with many different challenges. She only has a small budget the middle school set apart for the play, she knows nothing about carpentry and building the sets, and there is so much drama. Callie meets two brothers who are new to the school. They are so cute, but that just complicates her life further. The cast of the play is not getting along and there are too many things to worry about all at once. Will she be able to create her dream show and still feel sane?
Review:
Telgemeier has done a fabulous job of creating drama, comedy, and personality into her graphic novel. The reader likes Callie right away and continues to sympathize with her through the book. The drawings are in vivid colors which brings the book to life for the reader. I would recommend this book to avid readers and reluctant readers because it is a quick and interesting story of growing up.
