Phenomenal book about a tween dealing with a move, striving for independence, and diving into her first theater experience. This is an own-voices book about a disabled character who uses a wheelchair; we strive to include a lot of diverse characters in our reading from own-voices authors, and this one is definitely a great addition to our shelves. Any musical theater kid would love it, and the audio book is especially great since the author narrates, and even sings the actual show tunes! A very sweet and positive read that nevertheless deals with realistic tween/teen problems. Highly recommend.
