Switchback Switcheroo
Chart-topping singing sensation Switchback has returned to his hometown of Switchington Falls to open its new music venue. The opening ceremony centers on the unveiling of a life-size statue of Switchback himself. But when the pop star pulls back the covering to reveal the statue to his adoring fans, they discover his glorious face has been replaced by . . . a coat rack? Who would pull off such an insane switcheroo? Was it a gang of local art thieves? Or a band of superfans determined to keep Switchback to themselves? Perhaps a rival pop star pulled this prank. It couldn’t be a gang of zombies mistaking ceramic brains for real ones, right? Crack open a What Happened? book to investigate a preposterous mystery from four different perspectives. See what the witnesses gets right . . . and what they get hilariously wrong. Bet you'll never guess what really happened!

Showtime Sabotage is a middle grade novel written from the points of view of four diverse middle school students. Through each student we learn about the play’s “curse” and their theories on who, or what, may have caused the destruction to the set and costumes. The personalities are well-developed, and just like the teenagers I have at home, are hysterical, sarcastic, and spirited. They play off each other as they come to conclusions about what really happened.
The story is set in the auditorium as the students are finishing last minute preparations for that night’s play. Through the words and descriptions, the author brings us right up on stage with the kids and allows us to form our own idea of what may have happened.

I am reviewing a copy of Showtime Sabotage through North Star Editions/Jolly Fish Press and Netgalley:
The Green Valley Middle School’s theater students knew their production of Pirates and Lost Boys was cursed. Despite enduring months of the flu, rivalries that were flaring and snow days they finally made it to opening day. Just hours before showtime when the lights go out and costumes get wrecked both cast and crew suspect sabotage.
Who would want to Sabotage the show? Was it a self-absorbed pirate worried about being upstaged by the incredible set? Or a brand-new actor fearful of being outperformed? Or maybe it was rival students annoyed at having their talent show moved to the gym. Or could the show really be cursed?
This book investigates a mystery of what happened in four different perspectives, and would be a great edition to the Middle Grade Mystery lovers library in your life.
I give Showtime Sabotage five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
