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 and 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!
