A fun & dramatic tale written in drama form! Perfect for middle grade readers who want to "act out" or read books with a friend! Passion & voice drive this story of conspiracy to steal the school's beloved capybara mascot, Cappy! Readers will root for Cappy as he's kidnapped not once but TWICE in this fun & fresh novel!

Great MG read. I'm just not in middle school, so I found the humor a bit annoying. Still, great for HiLo readers, and I'll definitely booktalk it.

Maybe it's the influence of J.K. Rowling, but I am really enjoying reading plays lately. This funny story was another great one. I love that the author gives ideas for how to stage the book in the back. Olive wants to get more respect for non-jock students at the school, so she comes up with a plan to steal the school's mascot. Things go fantastically, dramatically, awry. I laughed out loud quite a few times.

I am always glad to see plays being written for kids and read by kids, especially as we move into an era of Harry Potter screenplays. That said, this play was fun and funny, but the characters were very one-dimensional, which was part of the gag in the book, so it was not my style. Though a book about a capybara conspiracy was pretty hard to pass up.
