Description
Thirteen-year-old Calvin knows he's destined to be a star. . . if he can just stop making embarrassing mistakes onstage, like getting stuck on a single line—"Forsooth!"—and then falling off the stage during the school play.
The summer after seventh grade, he's hoping for a fresh start. All he has to do is prove himself as an actor and fix the awkwardness with his friends that started after the play.
But nothing's going according to plan. His parents don't get his love of performing. His best friend is moving on without him. And he might have a crush that could change everything.
Surrounded by drama on all sides, Calvin will have to go off script if he's going to be a real friend and be true to himself.

I loved this book, it went above and beyond all my expectations. I loved the suspense and seeing the main character discover all these things about himself, and seeing him grow into who is really is.
