                                                                  Odd Girl In

                                           Summary: Sunny Kim knows she's a great actress,
                                           but at her school she can't seem to get good roles.
                                           When she finds out her friend rejected her for the
                                           part of Mary Poppins because she's Asian, she's
                                           furious. To prove herself she applies for a one-man
                                           show. But as things always go wrong in Candy Apple
                                           or Mix books, she endsup with a full cast production
                                           of Wicked, having only the school's acting rejects and
                                           a budget of $1,000.
                                           Rating: I give this book a 3.
                                           Awards: None

                                           Opinion: I used to love a Candy Apple book with a
                                           similar plot line, but this one puts it to shame. This
                                           book is so true to real problems in the drama world.
                                           Plus you just love Sunny, even when she obviously
                                           makes the wrong choice. All together it is an
                                           interesting read for girls.
