Another nostalgic read from my youth. Amy wants nothing more than to sign up for Young Theater and get to better know the most interesting girl in her class, aka Gretchen from Fifth Grade Magic. But her mother is hellbent on sending her to modeling camp. When Amy discovers herself to be in possession of a magic calendar, she tries to use it to get out of modeling camp and into the Young Theater program.
