My book is about a girl named Charlie and her best friend Nicole. Charlie and Nicole are in 7th grade. Charlie is kind of shy. Nicole is tall and has long, curly hair, which is Charlie's dream look. Charlie has an older brother Sean who is in 8th grade. His best friend Kyle has long blonde hair and Charlie and Nicole think he is cute. Charlie also lives with her little sister Olivia and her two high school sisters Jen and Gwen. The meanest girl in Charlie's school is Amber Wiley who has short, red hair. She thinks she is better than everyone else and also like Kyle.

This story takes place in the present time. The place where everyone usually is, is in school and Charlie's house. At school there was a school play that Charlie and Nicole decided to sign up for. Amber also decided to sign up for it too. When it came to Charlie's audition, she sang good at first then there was a little bit of off notes at the end, but after she stopped singing she ran into the bathroom and started crying, because she thought Amber was laughing at her. At school play auditions Charlie meets this guy Ian who likes her a lot.

The major conflict in this story is that the day the school play is showing and Amber loses her voice. She is the star of the play, and Charlie has to perform for her, but Charlie is scared. Amber has to be Charlie's character which is one of the woodland creatures in Robin hood. Charlie just pretends like no one is there and she goes through the play perfectly and everyone starts clapping at the end. Olivia brings some flowers up that says: To the cutest squirrel in Sherwood Break a leg From a fan You have to read this book to figure out who the letter was from.

I would recommend this story because i think it was a very good book. It has a life lesson, which is never think you can't do something that someone else can. I would recommend this book to 5th-8th graders. I would recommend this to people who like books about drama and plays.
