Chapter 1 Chapter 1 My name is Mindy Kim. It's finally summer, and my best friend, Sally, and I have really fun plans. We're going to try out for a musical at our local community theater! "I'm so glad you want to audition with me this year," Sally said with a wide grin. "I've always wanted to, but I was too afraid to try out by myself." The two of us were lying on her bed, staring down at Sally's phone screen. She'd pulled up information about the summer musical, which was going to be Cinderella this year! I wanted to go to Key West this summer, but Dad said we can't afford to go yet. So I was glad that I could still have a fun vacation at home with Sally.
