From Shannon Hale, best-selling author of Austenland, comes Kind of a Big Deal: a hilarious, madcap story that will suck you in - literally.
There's nothing worse than peaking in high school. Nobody knows that better than Josie Pie.
She was kind of a big deal - she dropped out of high school to be a star! But the bigger you are, the harder you fall. And Josie fell. Hard. Ouch. Broadway dream: dead.
Meanwhile, her life keeps imploding. Best friend: distant. Boyfriend: busy. Mom: not playing with a full deck? Desperate to escape, Josie gets into reading.
Literally. She reads a book and suddenly she's inside it. And with each book, she’s a different character: a post-apocalyptic heroine, the lead in a YA rom-com, a 17th-century wench in a corset.
It’s alarming. But also...kind of amazing?
It’s the perfect way to live out her fantasies. Book after book, Josie the failed star finds a new way to shine. But the longer she stays in a story, the harder it becomes to escape.
Will Josie find a story so good that she just stays forever?

Overall: A Box Office Hit

Josie's relationship with little Mia was so sweet. I felt so angry at her acting teacher for sending her out so ill-prepared that she thought a single mediocre audition meant failure. I cheered when her fantasy character defeated the enemies, and in the climax I was on the edge of my seat to see how she'd make it (spoiler alert, this isn't a tragedy).
i love Shannon Hale anyway, but this particular novel hit close to home in a beautiful way.
hits beautifully close to home
