Kamilla is an amazing singer, but she refuses to try out for the school musical. She simply can't stand the thought of everyone staring at her, when she sees herself as overweight. Led by her mum, Kamilla sees a doctor who tells her she's a healthy weight but encourages her to exercise to feel better, both physically and mentally. Will Kamilla's new habit lead to big changes, or is she stuck waiting in the wings forever? This Junior High Drama graphic novel discusses a common concern in a healthy, thoughtful way. Supported by a glossary and reader response questions, it is certain to be an entertaining yet safe pick for a wide range of readers, both those reading at level and also reluctant and struggling readers.
