A graphic novel for readers in grades 3 and up reviewed by Bella

        

Callie loves theater, but she unfortunately can’t sing. So, she joins the stage crew of her school’s production of Moon Over Mississippi as a set designer.

Callie underestimates the drama of her school’s drama club and finds herself struggling. The members of the drama club are not getting along, and the problems get more heated once everyone finds out who got what part in Moon Over Mississippi. Callie then has to try to make an amazing set design for the production while on a tight middle school budget.

As a former stage crew member, I find this book super fun and relatable. I loved its storyline and would definitely recommend it to anybody who has been a part of a team or club.
