CURTAIN CALL

Jennifer L. Holm Matthew Holm

Watch out, Broadway! Babymouse tries out for the school play in the next book in this highly illustrated series.
All of middle school's a play--at least, it seems that way to Babymouse. So when she hears about auditions for the school play, she jumps at the chance. She knows she's destined to be the lead! Or the lead's best friend. Or...Clown #2? Babymouse scrambles to memorize her one line, work on set design, and try to wrap her head around stage directions. But when the big show has a major glitch, it will take all of Babymouse's newfound skills to save the play.

This installment has a delightful throwback feel, showing kids that they can be independent and self-reliant without smartphones without smartphones and/or the internet. Fun, fun, fun.

Readers who've grown up with Babymouse will welcome her new adventures.

In numerous illustrations, Babymouse's amusing misadventures shine through, inspiring sympathetic laughter. VERDICT A must for libraries where the "Babymouse" series is popular.

Engaging and contemporary, the Holms' second volume is able to touch upon such important issues as online stranger danger and smartphone burnout without resorting to preachiness. #read this now.
