Drama by Raina Telgemeier

Genre: Graphic Novel
Grade Level: 5-9
Reading Level: 2.3 (.1 points) 240 pages
Publisher: GRAPHIX (September 1, 2012)
My Rating: 2 out of 4
Readability: For Middle School
MHL Division: Division 2

Summary: 
Callie rides an emotional roller coaster while serving on the stage crew for a middle-school production of MOON OVER MISSISSIPPI as various relationships start and end and others never quite get going.

This story is about the drama of putting on a play in a middle school and the drama of starting to date and finding attraction from the opposite sex or same sex. Lots of teenage angst!

I am going to let this book fall apart and not get replaced in our library.  It is really for middle school students since it deals quite heavily about dating, kissing, and a gay student. Younger elementary students are in over their heads with this one. Most of the younger students want to check this one out since it is an appealing graphic novel presentation.
