Bookroo's summary
Callie, a passionate theater enthusiast, takes on the challenge of designing a Broadway-worthy set for her middle school's play, Moon over Mississippi. With limited carpentry skills, dwindling ticket sales, and a crew struggling to cooperate, Callie faces mounting pressure. As if that weren't enough, the arrival of two charming brothers adds a twist to the backstage drama. Can Callie navigate the chaos and bring her vision to life, or will the offstage antics overshadow the performance? Dive into a world where creativity meets middle school mayhem, and every scene is a new adventure.
From the publisher
From Raina Telgemeier, the #1 New York Times bestselling, multiple Eisner Award-winning author of Smile and Sisters!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!
