Megan, a girl in fourth grade, has practiced in the summer for the part of Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, a musical that her class is going to stage. Megan is deaf, so she will do her audition in sign language, with help from her family's newly adopted dog Solo, who gets the part of Toto.Megan's best friend from summer camp, Lizzie, has moved to the same town and school as Megan. At the day of the audition for The Wizard, Megan is shocked to see that Lizzie performs the same songs as she has prepared for, now she will look like a total copycat and will not get the part of Dorothy! What to do? Audition stress, a new dog in the house, ( who gets missing just before the performance) friends and cheese french fries. It al comes together in this very cute and entertaining middle grade novel by Academy and Golden Globe Award winner Marlee Matlin (for her role in Children of a lesser God)and co author Doug Cooney. Real fun for young readers with Leading Ladies!
