Drama By Raina Telgemeier Do you know what it’s like to be in Drama and have a gay friend? Well, in this book a girl named Callie who is the protagonist joins drama but doesn’t be in the play she is stage management. She also has these friends that help her and she meet these twins. One of them loves theatre and the other isn’t as into it and is gay but his parents don’t know how they're gonna take it. The antagonist is that she wanted to be in the play except… SHE CAN’T SING! Anyways, The time is 2012 and it was mostly on stage or at school and home. 1 major conflict is she was nervous about the play because they only had a certain amount of money they were aloud to use like a budget and they couldn’t buy a lot of confetti for the 2 prop cannons and the bottles say full blast each time and they didn’t get the full blast they wanted. Another major conflict is she wants to help her friends and she tries to get her gay friend a boyfriend. A interesting fact I got is she has many friends except she isn’t popular quite yet. Another fact is she tries to fix the prop canons and wants them to be perfect. My 3rd fact is She has her friends help in getting the play perfect her gay friend helps but doesn’t want to be in it and hi brother does. My 4th fact is Callie’s brother snoops her phone over her head and reads who she was texting and it was a boy and he said “ Who’s your BF” but she doesn’t have one. My last fact is She tries to sing but she can’t, When she was younger she went to see a play she’s wanted to be in a play but she can’t sing so she is the backstage manager which is the next closest thing to perform. In conclusion anybody should read this it is a great book but you should atleast be 11 and up because their are some mature scenes in this book I hope everyone could read this book someday.

Callie loves theater. And while she would totally try out for her middle school's production of Moon over Mississippi, she can't really sing. Instead she's the set designer for the drama department's stage crew, and this year she's determined to create a set worthy of Broadway on a middle-school budget. But how can she, when she doesn't know much about carpentry, ticket sales are down, and the crew members are having trouble working together? Not to mention the onstage AND offstage drama that occurs once the actors are chosen. And when two cute brothers enter the picture, things get even crazier!
Book Reviews (1014)
I found this book to be amazing. Normally I do not read graphic novels, because most don't have much content, but this story did. I believe that this book had all of the features that a realistic fiction book would have, which is impeccable, considering the circumstances and the fact that it is a graphic novel! I recommend this book to you, fellow reader, if you enjoy reading realistic fiction. Thank you for reading, and I do hope you consider reading this book as well as other Raina Telgemeier stories :)
This book is good there is just not appropriate word in there
The Raina Telgemeier books are so good and this is an amazing book if you love theater! I totally recommend reading this!
This Book is wonderful and heart breaking I recommend it!
I read this book many times, and i think its awesome! (Drama NOT included ;) Get it right?)
I knew that this was going to be amazing, and I was right! I BEGGED my dad to get me it. It's about a girl named Callie, and she is in theater. She has a crush named Greg, but he is still into his former girlfriend, Bonnie. Soon she meets twins who join in the play. One is backstage, and the other is an actor. She's backstage because she isn't good at singing or acting. When Bonnie says she can't go up on stage, one of the twins has to replace her and play her role, which is a girl role. It has a lot subjects for more experienced readers. I'd recommend it to kids 10-15. THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING. Great job, Raina!
this book is sooooooooo good! I think this book is a good mixture of comedy and feelings!

This is a amazing book! You should definitely read it if you are into comic books about life and it's problems. This book is also good for readers getting into deeper subjects.
