“After totally nailing her audition for the middle school play, April Xue learns she wasn’t cast because of her tracheostomy tube. So she makes a plan to show the director how perfect she is for the lead role…and only tells a couple fibs to put it in motion. April navigates friendships, overprotective parents, her love of the theater, and the ways people treat visible and invisible disabilities in this vibrant and heartfelt middle grade debut,” said Angela Whited of Red Balloon Bookshop in St. Paul, Minnesota.
