But when the star drops out of the show, Mango’s new manager convinces the producers to rework the show with Mango as the star. The new series, Mango All the Time (she’s a girl who sings and time travels), goes into production and Mango must face the realities of success.

I am reviewing a copy of Mango All the Time through Sterling Children’s Books, and Netgalley:

If you’re looking for a good book for a middle grade reader, one that teaches not only about success, and friendship, but about issues such as racial injustice, I would highly recommend Mango All the Time.
Randomly stumbled upon this at the library, and had no idea it was the third in a series. Even having no background on what happened in the first two, this was so cute. Mango is a middle schooler who is getting her first shot in Hollywood after growing up a drama nerd across the country. She quickly realizes it’s not all sunshines and rainbows out there, and is going to take a lot of balance. I always felt her thoughts and worries were so realistic and I was rooting for her the whole way! Perfect read for 5th-6th graders who have any interest in acting/singing and I’ll definitely go looking for the first two!
4.5 stars I don't usually read middle grade, but I thought this was such a cute story. I loved the concepts it explores; about working hard and dealing with fame. Since this is the third book, I did not know much about Mango and I felt as though I may have a hard time connecting to her story. But I loved reading Mango All the Time so much. At the end of the day, it left me smiling and I love it when books do that. This one makes me want to pick up more middle grade reads as well.
