Drama

I would like to personally thank all of the parents who wrote reviews telling others not to buy this book because of the bisexual story line. Thanks to them I immediately purchased this book for my 2nd grader so that she does not grow up to be someone who is freaked out or disgusted by such things. I told my daughter that some parents thought that a book about two boys or two girls liking each other and dating was inappropriate for someone her age. She said, “that’s ridiculous!” I agree.

My eight year old daughter enjoys reading this book series. She was thrilled when I gave her this book to read on a long car trip. As she was reading she started asking me questions about boys liking boys. I asked why and she said in the book that is a discussion that is occurring between characters. I was very surprised. This is a children's book! I understand that this is something our kids growing up today will need to understand, however, this is something that as a parent, I will discuss and teach her more about! Not a book! And not at this age!. It's my job as a parent to inform my child of certain social issues and I really didn't appreciate this mature subject matter being pushed in this book. I took her book and read it myself to understand exactly the theme of the book. The subject matter continues throughout the book and ends with a bang. Not OK! And now my daughter and I have had conversations that I would've preferred to have when she was a year or two older and could understand a bit better. I hope this gives an insight into this book so you can decide as a parent if it's appropriate or not for your child.

Callie is a massive lover of theatre and she’s going through a lot - boys, friends, ambition. There’s a lovely coming out scene with one of the characters. I quite enjoyed this! It’s a bit more teenage than is suitable for my classroom.

My 8 year old loves these comic style books. In her words “I love the way they’ve done a show in it and there’s twists in it and I find it very interesting “ she loves the twists in the story.Easy to read for my 8 year old but she is a strong reader anyway

I haven't read the book yet. Both the front and back hardcover was damaged on the corner. Considering it is a new book, slightly disappointed.
