    This follows two girls in middle school who have fun but while Bri has brains and Izzy loves to act, neither of them tries to do the other thing. So when Izzy doesn't do a test there are consequences - someone else has to be brave and jump onto the stage to fill her place place. I really enjoyed...

Even if that day was years ago. On the surface this sounds wonderful. However it is both a blessing and a curse. Imagine no...

    Genre: Adventure

    I loved the amount of adventure they put into this book while being balance with a bit of comedy and mystery, making me read on to see how the main character would escape and fix the new problem that happens on set. Meanwhile a dark mystery is being discovered as the director may not be what she...
