Let the show go on.
The annual showcase at Adina’s school for the arts is a pretty big deal. Adina knows the act she and her friends are preparing could be perfect. They’ve got great music, gorgeous costumes and wicked dance moves. But everyone’s getting sick of Adina ordering them around. And then there’s the competition, the terrifyingly perfect Prima Donnas, who might be sabotaging Adina’s team. Creating a winning act may be her biggest challenge yet.

About the author
Raquel Rivera
10 booksRaquel Rivera was born and raised in Toronto, Ontario. After graduating York University with a B.F.A. in Visual Arts in 1987, Raquel moved to Barcelona, Spain, for two years. There she found work as a teacher of English, pursued her drawing, and learned Spanish.
Some years later, she left Toronto again to live in Singapore. While working as a project manager and copywriter for a graphic design firm there, Raquel was able to produce a series of artist books. Her "Small Books" now tour North America in Projet mobilivre/Bookmobile (www.mobilivre.org) and are included in the collection at Montreal's Bibliograph/eZine Library (www.bibliograph.ca).
In 1996, Raquel and her future husband, Kim, moved one country north, to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. They started a website design practice and founded Site Dish! (www.sitedish.com) to house interactive projects experimenting with art, writing, and interface design for the Web. At the same time, Raquel was able to pursue her writing and drawing online in web art collaborations with Montreal-based artist Jeannette Lambert — work which was featured in online journals and festivals around that time.
In 1999, Raquel began raising a family and focusing exclusively on her own writing and art. She has since published poems, exhibited her drawings, and written three children's books: Arctic Adventures: Tales from the Lives of Inuit Artists, Orphan Ahwak, and Tuk and the Whale.
Raquel maintains a book review website, In My Hysterical Opinion. She now lives in Montreal with her husband and two children.

At Adina's high school for the arts, there is an annual show. It is very competitive and students get very creative with their acts in an attempt to get in. Adina's desire to be the best causes some tension between her and her friends as they strive to prepare.
Realistic teen motivation and reactions in regards to competition. Based on a real school in Canada.
A serviceable hi-lo read.
