Stagefright / Carole WIlkinson


Velvet is forced to leave her old school because her father lost his job and they have to drastically downsize. Her new school is a nightmare. Everyone, including the principal, is sports-mad, apart from the small group of rejects who have to take 'cultural studies' since they are useless at sports. Then the principal orders them to put on a play, by Shakespeare! What could have been a nightmare becomes a funny, entertaining and almost believable story which I really enjoyed. There's music, fighting, wild students, even love, so this book has it all. Read it!

Who would enjoy this? Anyone who likes a good and humorous story which moves quickly, and lets you get to know the characters well.
