SOLVED. Children’s Fiction where the story went back and forth between how a boy imagined moments in his life versus how they actually happened. Read 2007-2009

[Shannon]

I got this book from my teacher’s library, and I believe it was a library edition without a dust jacket. It was orange. The boy wanted to be an actor or something along those lines and he would always imagine how different events in his life would go, before the book would cut back to how the event actually went.

Two scenes I remember were him climbing a tree, and there was one where he was practicing lines or talking to himself in a mirror. He had a sister.

There was also, at page breaks, a little fish icon that would be between paragraphs - maybe denoting when it would switch between the fantasy and real world?

It’s been driving me crazy for years that I can’t remember the title - please help!!
