Upstaged (Zack Delacruz, Book 3)

by Jeff Anderson

Overview

Zack is back—and taking on the school play!
 
Bah humbug!  Zack Delacruz wants to win the role of Scrooge in Davy Crockett Middle School’s production of A Christmas Carol—and Abhi’s admiration, too. But he’s not the only one trying out for the play. So are José (El Pollo Loco), Marquis, and Janie, who dreams of being all three ghosts. What role will Zack end up playing on stage . . . and in his life? Bowling balls, gurgling stomachs, complete chaos, and quick detective work turn this year’s drama into a spectacular scene that will have actors rising to new heights—literally—and leave readers rolling in the aisles.

Editorial Reviews

This series installment centers around the school production of A Christmas Carol. Zack isn’t interested in acting but he does want to gain the attention of Abhi, and if it means trying out for the lead in the play, so be it. There is an inclusive cast of characters and a story that will appeal to readers, especially those who love slapstick humor. Zack also deals with family and friendship dynamics, including divorce, though with a light touch. The awkwardness of middle school shines true.” —School Library Journal online
