Callie just adores the theater and jumps at the chance when the school production is announced as Moon Over Mississippi. Callie knows the story well but signs up to be the set designer due to her terrible singing voice. While Callie's dreams for the set are BIG, the budget is small and Callie thinks of ways to do things the way she has hoped but at a lesser cost.

If the play's trials ans errors was not enough on Callie's agenda, twin boys start at her school... and errr.... did I mention they were CUTE??? Callie balances her onstage and off stage life cautiously but the drama becomes DRAMA as the cast is selected, emotions and jealousies flair up, props fail, and no matter what.... the play must go on!

DRAMA is such a fun read. I really enjoyed the story line and the tiles double meaning. Raina's graphics add so much as well! It was cool to not only read but see what was happening. The characters acted just as kids their age would... their emotions are a bit over the top as they should be at that age and I just kept turning the pages.

The book touches on real life situations that are not always what you see in a middle grade read. I was impressed to see Raina go there, and go there well.
