Candy Apple is a fresh, fun take on fiction for girls: a new line of single titles with pep and pizzazz targeted at the solid middle-grade reader.

Charlie and her best friend Nicole never dreamed that auditioning for the junior high's musical would lead to this much drama! Charlie gets stuck babysitting her little sister -- and her sister's imaginary friend -- at rehearsals. The school's theater diva has it out for her. And who knew the cutest guy in school could sing and act?

But when the curtain finally goes up, the spotlight falls on something no one expected . . . especially Charlie.
