In this āentertaining and movingā (Kirkus Reviews) middle grade novel thatās perfect for fans of Tim Federle and Gordon Korman, Zadie is determined to spend the summer helping at the community theaterābut things go hilariously awry!
Zadie loves Tae Kwon Do, comic books, and outer space. She also loves visiting the community theater that her mom runs, especially the lighting grid over the stage and the stage managerās booth, which is filled with levers and buttons like a spaceship control panel. So when the familyās finances suffer a blow and Zadie has to give up her usual activities to spend the summer at the theater, she doesnāt mind too much. After all, sheās always wanted to tech a show.
She knows sheād be great at it, but her mom and the new stage manager are totally opposed to the idea of having a kid do tech. Instead, Zadieās stuck handing out snacks and folding flyers. But the future of the theater rides on this show, and Zadie is determined to help. Sheās going to make Spinderella the hit of the seasonāunless she accidentally turns it into a disaster.
