Callie 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!

Drama is a book about a theater girl named Callie. She faces challenges relating to theater, boys, leading to, well, Drama. I recommend this book for young preteens as it is a good example.
I have read it al least a million times!!! I love the fact that everybody was okay with the twins!!!
This book is about a girl named Callie who works backstage for her school plays. One day, she meets these two twins, Justin and Jesse. Justin wants to try out for the school play and Jessie is too shy to do that. So, Jesse joins the backstage crew and Justin gets a role as an army captain. This book talks about the drama between Callie, Jessie and Justin's relationship with each other. This was a really good read because of the story.
IT IS SO AMAZING everyone Sould read it.
