Book Synopsis

Hope is happiest out of the spotlight, working backstage at her local theatre, so she can’t believe her luck when she lands a top internship on a major show. However, with a Hollywood star cast in the lead, and his young understudy upstaging Hope’s heart, she soon wishes life would stick to the script. Hope has to prove she’s got what it takes. But with a big secret and so much buzz around the show, it isn’t long before Hope finds herself centre stage…

A Hollywood star, a top director, a sold-out show, a major crush…and a girl with everything to prove.

Our Review Panel says...

I love Maggie Harcourt’s writing, and this book is such a treat for any theatre enthusiast. Hope’s dreams of working backstage in a theatre are realised when she wins an internship, but chaos (and romance) ensue. It’s a real love letter to what goes on behind the scenes of a production, and a total joy to read. (Ages 14+)
