Lola is new to her Dellwood, NJ High School and is an individualist.
 She doesn't fit into the established groups and doesn't follow what
the idol of the school does.  It starts out a battle of will between the
two.  Carla, the idol, had always been the star of the school play
and to everyone's surprise and Lola wins the role.  Then their
favorite rock group announces its break up and its final concert.  Of
course, both Carla and Lola have to go.  This starts off an kind of
unrealistic adventure in New York.  Finally, the play goes on.
Sheldon has her finger on the dynamics of a school and has written
a 272 page book with much humor and realism.  Myself, having
been involved in many school plays, really appreciated the
dynamics of what happened between the cast members. The topic
of this book would be more appreciated by upper middle and HS
students but there is nothing really inappropriate for lower middle
school kids.
