This month's is for the middle grade novel Drama, which follows a group of middle school drama club members both on and off stage as they prepare and preform the spring musical. It is a fantastic book about finding yourself, not giving up (yes that cannon will fire!) , and discovering where your true passions are. It has been banned for LGBTQ+ characters, and having a "trans" storyline, (one of the male characters in a last minute emergency ends up playing the female lead for the second half of the performance because he is the only one who knows the lines and isn't already on stage, and the show must go on).
