if maybe, just maybe, she will be the star instead of Tara this
time.But when the show is cast, Lauren lands in the ensemble, while
Tara scores the lead role. Their teacher explains: Lauren just
doesn't look the part of the all-American girl. What audience would
believe that she, half-Jewish, half-Chinese Lauren, was the
everygirl star from Pleasant Valley, USA?From amidst the ensemble,
Lauren tries to support her best friend. But when she can't bring
herself to sing anymore, her spot in the play and her friendship
are in jeopardy. With the help of a button-making business, the
music of Patsy Cline, and her two bickering grandmothers, can
Lauren find her voice again?Acclaimed coauthors Madelyn Rosenberg
and Wendy Wan-Long Shang return to the 1980s world of Sydney Taylor
