So when her mother makes her try out fot the local theater production of the Wizard of Oz, it's no surprise that she is cast as a munchkin.

And before long, Julia has a wonderful realization: this is going to be her summer to shine. Filled with humor, heart, and a terrifically quirky cast of characters, this is a joyous story of self-discovery and the role models who forever change us." --p. [4] of cover. | |
