Review: Mindy Kim and the Summer Musical

 

* Book 9 in the Mindy Kim series * 

Mindy and her friends tryout for the kids' summer theater production of Cinderella. They are all trying out for the same part. When Mindy gets the role of an evil stepsister, she's hurt. She doesn't think she's mean. And she's really hoping she'll make a great big sister. 

Rehearsals are tricky. One of the stars quits. Will the show go on?

My Thoughts: I adore this series! Mindy and her friends are adorable as they tryout for the play and support each other. I love how they tryout even though they are scared. They're more interested in trying new things. I love how Mindy makes the best of being an evil stepsister - by trying to make people laugh. There's some bullying in the book and talk about staying calm with breathing techniques. As always, the illustrations are charming. I can't wait to see what happens next for Mindy and her family.

Cover Thoughts: Adorable
