An eighth grader dares to direct the school play. Can she handle her cast of peers? Aimi Wilby loves theater and writing. With the spring play coming up, the budding author is thrilled to be assigned as an assistant director. Diligent Aimi can't believe it when her teacher abruptly quits, and she is chosen to write and direct the entire production. Aimi refuses to be deterred even when she loses her mentor, her cast members fight, the school administrators prove apathetic, and parents are constantly overbearing. However, what the intrepid teenager fears most is that she will disappoint everyone, especially when a well-meaning counselor insists on the late addition of another cast member with a dark and wholly unfamiliar past. Aimi has one last idea. But will it be enough? The LoGlas Theater is the true-to-life third book in the Growing Up Aimi middle grade fiction series. If you like honest characters, beautiful twists, and Christian themes, then you'll love father-daughter writing duo Bill & Mia Belew's wonderful tale. Grab The LoGlas Theater and join in the adventure today! I heard probably about the cost of a one-day pass to Disneyland. I stood motionless as I peered through the just-closed final curtain. A few moments ago, we put a wrap on the last performance of our unique take on Beauty and the Beast. We called it The Rose and the Thorn. I guess the thinking is, or was, that if we can twist Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory to our tastes, then Disney's Beauty and the Beast would be fair game as well. Or, should I say, Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve's Beauty and the Beast. She wrote it, gee, like, almost 200 years ago. I won't say her name, however, for fear I say it wrong and Violet gets offended. She's like that and will know how to say it. Not just because she is from France, but can speak French. And she does love to point it out to me when I make a mistake. Disney tweaked BntB. It sounds cool to say it letter by letter. B … N … T… B. What was I saying? Oh. Since Disney tweaked BntB to make it more fluffy, more universally appealing (according to their formula for mass attraction) and, of course, more money making, I guess I can change the story around any way I want, as well. If I like. I mean, there's like no chance that some 200 year old woman is going to come after me for changing her story. If she did, I think I'd like to write a musical about that. I wonder. What does the voice of a 200 year-old woman sound like? Maybe I should look into the mirror behind my cracked phone screen and ask. Anyways, if she did come back she'd go after Disney first. They have more money than I do. The Heliuna Academy did come into some money not long ago. I told that story in another book. The LoGlas Theater is about what happens next.
