About This Book

A lively schoolroom tale follows Jess Morse and her classmates at Central High as they balance household struggles, secret society traditions, athletics, and a rivalrous drive to mount a prize-winning play. Episodes move through student fundraising, rehearsals, examinations, social gatherings and a climactic production night, while friendship, resourcefulness, and parental attitudes shape the girls' choices. Subplots include financial strain at home, comic misunderstandings, and youthful schemes that test loyalty and ingenuity before a resolution at the theatre.
