I love this quirky take on backstage theatre life.  I thought the first volume was cool and this was great too.  I love that special magic that makes theatre feel so real.  It's so good.  I don't know where the cover of this book comes from.  The story had nothing to do with it and that would have made some good story also.

The backstage kids are in between productions and they are about to play this mega game of Risk backstage and that would have been fun to watch a little bit of that.  The plot intervened right as they were getting started.  The pacing was very fast and chaotic and I could have done with just a touch slower pacing at times.   I'm old, I suppose.  

The actors showed up in this one and they were so funny.  Perfect actors.  They are playing a game at the beginning of throwing sound an that was fun to see.  Ahh, I love the theatre.  Great story.
