Can Callie survive the dreadful play--and her year at school? Read on in this cheery, excited book to find out!

Since everyone is like friends here. I have a crazy idea that probably will never really become anything but, what if like dogo news hosted an event? Like where we could meet people, and like we would have nametags of our usernames like I would be wearing a nametag saying (koreanbacongirl). What do ya people think about that??? Say #event if ya think its cool! #event!

When you say that you sound like someone in my class.

Exhilarating! But I sort of agree with the "learning how to control the waves yourself" thing--isn't it better just to use the natural way?

thank you :) <3
