Drama Queens In the House

Book Jacket for: Drama queens in the houseIf you’re looking for a sweet little story about a teenage girl going through some growing then you need look no further then Drama Queens In the House by Julie Williams.  Jessie Jasper Lewis has just graduated from High School (at 15, she’s a bit of a brainiac).  Her family are theater nuts and have infected her though she appears to have little or no talent for theater-ish endeavors.  At the same time her parent’s marriage is breaking up and she must cope with realizing her father is gay & dealing with her mother’s reaction to that situation.  The book is a quick, easy read with charming characters and not a lot of drama (despite the title).  Recommended for teens looking for a slice of life book.
