Description



Book Synopsis



The full story of a junior high musical production, told exclusively from the POV of the kids backstage. It's High School Musical, from behind the scenes . . . without the high school.

Book Two of the Cast vs. Crew Trilogy

In this sequel to Setting the Stage, there's one week left until opening night of Curie: The Musical, and nothing is going right backstage.

The set has collapsed, the crew's headsets don't work, and Ella, the stage manager, just quit in a fury. The cast and crew are playing pranks on each other, and Willow, the soundboard operator, is working on a scheme that will turn the feud into all-out war!

Levi, the tech lead, and Rosa, the star of the show, are caught in the middle. Can they unite the cast and crew in time to actually rehearse? Or will the chaos force them to take sides and destroy their showmance?

The teachers call it "tech week." The kids call it "hell week." Whatever you call it, this is the week that the drama of drama club gets real.



Review Quotes




Champion captures the particular madness of tech week with pitch-perfect authenticity. . . . Readers will tear through this one and immediately start counting down to book three.
--Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Champion embeds conflict resolution strategies and theater vernacular to weave a complex commentary of teen friendship and romance with teaching life skills of self-advocacy, juggling familial obligations, and knowing when to ask for help. This novel balances tough topics, such as struggling to learn lines with dyslexia and how to work with different types of people. This is a fun readalike to Gordon Korman's No More Dead Dogs.
--School Library Journal
