E. Lockhart's Dramarama

Absolutely fabulous!!! This book captures the true spirit of the theatre kid; our passion, our insecurities and our generally awesome zaniness. Lockhart also captures this world without the adult condescension of "oh, those crazy theatre kids." At the same time, she does show the faults of the theatre world (as a teen). Overall, this book is sheer awesomeness. Where was it when I was in school? I can so relate (or could ten years ago) to Sadye. This book made me happy. For more, check out E. Lockhart's blog...which includes a special page for Dramarama, including an I-Pod list of songs to get readers either in the mood or up-to-date on the show tunes discussed in the novel. I am now a big fan of E. Lockhart...first The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks and now Dramarama.... I will read anything she writes!! Rock on, E. Lockart. I want to be you...in a totally uncreepy way, of course.
