Book Hero Magic crafted this summary to help describe this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Summary
Drama by Raina Telgemeier is a full-colour graphic novel centred on Callie, a middle school student passionate about theatre. Although she isn't a singer and therefore can't audition for her school's production of Moon Over Mississippi, Callie takes on the role of set designer. Determined to craft a set that rivals Broadway despite a limited budget and little carpentry experience, she faces challenges both backstage and in friendships, intensified by the arrival of two brothers. The story humorously captures the ups and downs of teamwork, young crushes, and everyday middle school drama.

Raina Telgemeier, the author of the award-winning SMILE, brings us her next full-colour graphic novel... DRAMA!

Callie loves theatre. And while she would totally try out for her middle school's production of Moon Over Mississippi, she's a terrible singer.

Instead, she's the set designer for the stage crew, and this year she's determined to create a set worthy of Broadway on a middle-school budget. But how can she, when she doesn't know much about carpentry, ticket sales are down, and the crew members are having trouble working together? Not to mention the onstage and offstage drama that occurs once the actors are chosen. When two cute brothers enter the picture, things get even crazier!

Following the success of SMILE, Raina Telgemeier brings us another graphic novel featuring a diverse set of characters that humorously explores friendship, crushes, and all-around drama!

Check out Raina's other graphic novels - SISTERS & GUTS.
