Overview

TAKE YOUR FINAL BOW The Ghostlight Youth Theater Camp isn't the best program in the world, but to Faye, it's home. Every summer since junior high, Faye and her friends have come together for a monthlong musical-theater intensive. For her last year before graduation, Faye's finally ready to take center stage as her true Afro-Latina self and break out of her white-passing roles. But as Faye steps into her spotlight, complications arise. Suddenly, she's competing with her BFF for lead roles and distracted by the attentions of the new camp hottie. Even when the drama turns deadly, Faye remains determined to make this the best production the Ghostlight has ever seen. It must be a coincidence that the stagehands keep disappearing and having gruesome accidents, right? But dark secrets are hiding behind the scenes, and opening night might turn out to be a bloodbath.

""A witty summer camp murder mystery where drama unfolds both on and off the stage . . . Anderson's refreshingly diverse cast of characters includes kids of various cultural, racial, and LGBTQ+ identities, who are socially stratified as leads vs. ensemble members. . . In this love letter to theater life, the joy and passion derived from the art form shine through brightly."" --Kirkus ""Anderson effectively captures the over-the-top atmosphere of theater camp, resulting in plenty of dark humor.""--Publisher's Weekly
