Resumen del Editor

In this heartwarming and funny middle-grade novel by the New York Times best-selling author of Counting by 7s, Julia grows into herself while playing a Munchkin in The Wizard of Oz.

Julia is very short for her age, but by the end of the summer run of The Wizard of Oz, she'll realize how big she is inside, where it counts. She hasn't ever thought of herself as a performer, but when the wonderful director of Oz casts her as a Munchkin, she begins to see herself in a new way. As Julia becomes friendly with the poised and wise Olive - one of the adults with dwarfism who've joined the production's motley crew of Munchkins - and with her deeply artistic neighbor, Mrs. Chang, Julia's own sense of self as an artist grows. Soon she doesn't want to fade into the background - and it's a good thing, because her director has more big plans for Julia!

Bubbling over with humor and tenderness, this is an irresistible story of self-discovery and of the role models who forever change us.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Short joins other middle-grade novels ... in celebrating the transcendent power of theater for kids.” (The New York Times Book Review)

"Sweet and uplifting.... It's refreshing that Julia doesn't mind being short and believes she's 'little, but big inside.' Her self-acceptance is inspiring and the joy she experiences in her foray into theater is irresistible." (Booklist, starred review)

"A charming read with an important message that no matter one's stature, 'the way we move tells the world who we are." (Kirkus)

This book is incredible, it takes you on a journey in the mind of Julia. Through all her ups and downs. You learn about show biz and how Julia dealt with her first time in a musical. It made me laugh at the all right moments, and made me truly appreciate Holly Goldberg Sloan.

Must Read!

A sweet story of a young girl, who finds strength in a new passion and along the way finds comfort for her grief and new friendships in different Days! A sweet story full of figurative language and a strong, must learn message!
