Short
by Holly Goldberg Sloan
Fiction. She can't sing or dance, but middle school dreamer Julia Marks is just the right height to play a munchkin in a summer production of The Wizard of Oz. Skeptical about the theater and sensitive about being short, Julia's not exactly excited about the role -- at least not until she bonds with elderly costume genius Mrs. Chang, supportive director Shawn, and fellow munchkin Olive (an adult who's Julia's height), and she starts to see that being small can't stop her from dreaming big. Authentic backstage friendships make this upbeat read perfect for fans of Andrew Keenan-Bolger's Jack & Louisa series.
