Drama

Drama

By Raina Telgemeier

Have you ever devised the perfect plan to achieve your dreams but found that constant interference from others was holding you back? In Raina Telgemeier’s Drama, the protagonist, an outgoing, theater-loving middle schooler named Callie, is forced to deal with school drama both onstage and offstage. The setting for most of this story is Eucalyptus Middle School, where Callie works as the set designer for her school’s theater production of Moon over Mississippi. She has a lot of ambitious ideas as to how the cast and crew can create the perfect production, however, she encounters numerous difficulties. For one, the limits relating to budget, materials, and time are causing her some trouble, and to top it all off, her fellow stage crew and actors aren’t getting along very well, and Callie ends up caught in the very middle of it. She has to persevere through it all and try her hardest to make the production the best it can be. A memory moment Callie has in the story is a memory of the first theater production she ever saw and how much it inspired her. She recalled wanting to adopt the roles of characters in productions, but eventually she realized that it wasn’t her strong suit. That didn’t stop her from continuing to learn about the various aspects of theater, and she ended up joining the Eucalyptus Middle School Stage Crew during her 6th grade year. This was how she first got involved in theater and how she would become the set designer for Moon over Mississippi. Anyone who likes a good graphic novel, is interested in theater, or enjoys an amusing story involving some classic school drama might like this book.

Dork Diaries 8: Tales from a Not-So-Happily Ever After

By Rachel Renée Russell

This is around my first time reading DORK DIARIES! I haven't read this one yet, but the other one I read was cool. If that one was cool the others will probably be just as good. To me the writing looks exactly like DIARY OF A WIMPY KID! The pictures are different, but it's still written like if a kid wrote. In this case it's Niki's diary so it's like she actually wrote these words even though a grown up named Rachel R. Russell wrote it! I LOVE DORK DIARY! I recommend that you start reading Dork Diary I guarantee you'll get hooked!
