My Life, the Theater, and Other Tragediesby Allen Zadoff

“All the world’s a stage, indeed, and these players earn their applause.” –Publishers Weekly

High school sophomore Adam Zeigler, who lost his father to a sudden accident two years ago, thinks the best way to live life is behind the spotlight. As a member of the theater crew, he believes he’s achieved it all when he wins the coveted job of spotlight operator. But that was before a young actress, Summer, appeared in his view. Instantly smitten, Adam is determined to win her over. But to do so, he’ll have to defy his best friend and break the golden rule of his school: techies and actors don’t mix.

Set against the backdrop of a high school production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Zadoff’s latest is a bromance, a love story, and theater story in one. The politics of love and high school collide as Adam struggles to find the courage to step out of the shadows and into the light.

“In this lively romantic dramedy, Zadoff (Food, Girls, and Other Things I Can’t Have) uses a high school production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream as a backdrop for one teenager’s coming-of-age. Zadoff captures the confusion, torn loyalties, and overwrought drama of teenage life–not to mention student theater. All the world’s a stage, indeed, and these players earn their applause.” –Publishers Weekly

“Drama begets drama in this examination of relationships set against the backdrop of a high-school theater production…. this solid tale ultimately appeals. –Kirkus Reviews

Fast-paced and filled with humor, Zadoff’s latest title is sure to appeal to fans of Glee and other performance-based TV shows.” -School Library Journal

It’s the summer of 1953. Calvin Jefferson Coolidge is thirteen years old when the ghost of Joseph Stalin appears to him in his Aunt Evelyn’s cluttered Cleveland attic and wants to dictate his memoirs to him.
“I want to tell my side of the story,” Uncle Joe tells him. “They’re giving me one year to set the record straight, so we need to get started right away.”

His English teacher thinks he’s a savant. The school psychologist wants to have him committed. His shrink thinks he’s just plain nuts. Sometimes, Calvin believes it too.
Everybody’s trying to figure out what makes Calvin tick in this quirky, fast-paced metaphysical romp through the heart and soul of 1950’s America.

Let Me Inby Ali Parker

He said I couldn’t do it, but he was wrong.

An old professor at UCLA promised me that I would make nothing of myself, so I made sure I did.

To the tune of billions. I’m only a little cocky about it.

Yachts, parties, and one-night events pretty much spell out my life.

And all of it works well until I run into a beauty I can’t get out of my head.

But we’re keeping it friendly and casual until we aren’t.

There’s just one problem. Her old man hates me.

And for good reason. He was my UCLA professor.

He’s dead set against me becoming anything important to his little girl, but the old man’s got it all backward.

I’m not looking to make an example out of our passion or prove a point.

This isn’t about hit it and quit it.

His daughter is mine, and he might kick me out, but she’s letting me all the way in.

This is book 1 in a 3 book series. You will have to read books 2 and 3 to complete the story.
