Kylie Jean : Drama Queen by Marci Peschke
In "Drama Queen," Kylie Jean introduces us to her family, her dog Ugly Brother and friends and tells us she wants to be a beauty queen. When she learns that her class is going to be putting on the play Alice in Wonderland, Kylie Jean is determined to be the Queen of Hearts so she can wear a crown. However, the mean new girl, Paula, also wants the same part. Kylie Jean is a very funny girl and you can't help but like her. The writing is so inviting and the illustrations add just enough pizazz and sparkle to help move the story along. Kylie Jean's relationships with her family, bus driver and friends are realistic but her relationship with Ugly Brother is priceless. When Kylie Jean dons a wig to rehearse her part in Alice in Wonderland, Ugly Brother is scared of her. When she asks him a question and he barks twice, that means "yes." The author infuses the story with lots of theatre terminology including stagehand, understudy, and break-a-leg and readers will learn about putting a play on as well as enjoy a lovely story.
