Bookroo's summary

Jacky Hart dreams of a summer filled with acting and singing, but reality hits hard when she's stuck with a job and babysitting duties in Seaside Heights. As she navigates the chaos of losing her job, embarrassing herself in front of a crush, and ruining a friendship, Jacky must decide if she can juggle her responsibilities and still pursue her passion for the stage. Will she find a way to shine in the summer stock performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream, or will her comedic antics lead to a summer of mishaps?

From the publisher

Class clown Jacky Hart is back and ready for the best summer ever in James Patterson’s bestselling graphic novel series! But can she juggle family, friends, and work and still find time to act and sing? Living on the shore is all about fun, fun, FUN! With my starring role in the boardwalk’s biggest blockbuster performance, a life of fame and fortune is finally within reach. Until I accidentally lose my job, embarrass myself in front of a crush, AND ruin a friendship, all at the same time. My problems can’t always be laughed away–but I sure am going to try. After all, they didn’t nickname me Jacky Ha-Ha for nothing!
