I Loved This Book!

Review by NationalDesignTeam

When the drama teacher, Miss Magnus, literally breaks her leg, Noah McNichol and his friends are left with Coach Fig, who knows nothing about theater, instead of a real drama teacher. But at auditions, a strange man called Mike appears. He tells Noah he has theater experience, then disappears. Noah McNichol and the Backstage Ghost is an amazing book that is filled with just the right amount of mystery, wonder, love, and of course; drama. I personally loved this book because I am a “Theater Geek”, but you don’t need to be one to love it. When I read this book I could relate to Noah’s feelings and actions, such as being upset that he didn’t get the role he wanted, or his curiosity about Mike, or even his happiness when the mystery was solved. Martha Freeman has spun an amazing, mysterious, wonderful story which millions should love! - Sam, PJ Our Way Advisory Committee Member
