    Allie Finkle's fourth grade class is putting on a play and Allie really, really wants the part of the main
    character, Princess Penelope. The only problem is that so does almost every other girl in her class, including
    one of her best friends, Sophie, and snobby Cheyenne.

    Allie's not worried, though. With help from her ex-theater major Uncle Jay and her mom's new "Celebrity"
    job as a movie critic on a local cable show, she's sure to get the part.  

    But if she does get the part, will Sophie still be her best friend? How will she ever practice her lines with her
    two little brothers playing tackle football in the hallway all the time? Most importantly, can Allie figure all this
    out without breaking any of her rules?
            
    STAGE FRIGHT, like all Meg Cabot's books, was very funny and a lot of fun. Young girls will relate to
    Allie's friendship (and enemy) troubles and excitement. Allie and everyone in her world are sweet, and Allie
    always finds a way to make any situation fun.
