Drama is a heartfelt book about a girl named Callie, who is the set designer for a theater club. Everything is going well, and she has so many great ideas for their show, Moon over Mississippi. She wants to create the best set designs, but problems such as crew members not getting along, interfere between her dreams. Then real drama starts to erupt when two twins join the club. It didn’t help when Callie started to grow close to the twins, and love was in the air for her. Now with everything going on offstage and on, Callie’s life has become a lot crazier.
Review
The book certainly deserves its title. There is drama everywhere, from the the club, to the actors, crew members, and Callie’s personal life. The author captured it all perfectly and I loved it.
Somehow though, the romance in this book started to become one of the main storylines. This was a distraction from the overall plot of the story. It also made the characters unrealistic, especially since readers are younger audiences. Most people, like me, didn’t want the main character to be so impractical. I thought Callie was a little too crazy over boys, and this also distracted her from focusing on the play.
But the actual scenes that include the club working on theater productions was a great read because there were many positive messages such as determination, hard work, teamwork, and respecting each other’s talents/differences.
I think the author could have done better, but overall, it was a good read. I recommend this book to people who like stories about love, drama, and friendship.

Review
Sisters shares the drama Raina and her sister have experienced while growing up. Readers get to join them in their journey of a very long trip and humorous flashbacks to learning how to work together with one another. I love how the POV sometimes alternates from the past to the present, because it vividly describes the family’s background with visuals. The illustrations are so beautifully drawn, and they express the words in a colorful, artsy way. The cute and funny moments in this book will bring a smile to your face.
It is a honest, and very relatable story that people of all ages will love. The connections I made with the characters in this book improved my experience while I was reading. Overall, this was one of the most engaging true stories that I have read.
