Title: Life Starring Me Author: Robin Wasserman Copyright Date: 2009 Pages: 182

My story is about a girl named Rebecca Davenstien, but she likes to be called Ruby Day. She was in a t.v. show called Bye Bye Birdie. She cut her hair short because she was playing a boy. Even though she didn't want to cut her long hair, she did. She went around the world with her Great Aunt Silva starring in t.v. shows everywhere. Right now she was in Paris. She went home to her parents and her sister Alana most holidays, but didn't stay very long.

My story takes place in present time and mostly in Paris, because Ruby Day is on the cast of Bye Bye Birdie. She had her birthday in Paris and the producer, Jerry, wanted to see her in his office. She went to his office and he said she was getting to big to play the part and he is getting a ten year old kid that was actually a boy to play the part. She flew home to her house and started to go to Alencia Middle School. she joined the dram club and ended up being in the chorus. They were putting on a show called Monster Mash but 1 month later, their director, Ms. Hedley, was leaving.

The biggest problem in this story was that the cast and chorus of Monster Mash at Alencia Middle School had to direct the whole show by their selves.Their new director, Coach Amato, didn't do anything with them. Everyone was falling down and couldn't get the steps right to the Zombie Dance. They had another problem too. Maureen's big solo was right after her other solo so Ruby played her part, because no one would notice because no one would notice it was her, because she would be wearing a werewolf mask.

I would reccomend this book to ages 10-13, because little kids wouldn't really understand this book. I also would recommend this book to people who like drama books. I hope you read this book and like it. I will probably read this book again sometime.
