The Outstanding Life of an Awkward Theater Kid: God, I'll Do Anything--Just Don't Let Me Fail

By Ted Kluck

Book Overview

Can Flex Deal with the Drama?

Flex is a football player, not an actor. But he can fake it if it means getting to see KK, the girl he's dating (sort of--it's complicated), every day after school for about a month.

This play isn't for the weak, though. First, Flex has to deal with his nemesis, Actor Boy, the guy who greets girls with kisses on either cheek. C'mon, dude. Really? ?

Then there's the whole Shakespeare thing. What was "Bill" thinking when he wrote this gobbledygook? Thou dost protest...seriously.

Meanwhile KK is hanging out with Watson, the King of the Youth Group, and no amount of video game playing is going to make Flex feel okay about that. He'd better get his jealousy in check before KK checks out on him for good.

But with some encouragement from Mimi and Pops (his mom and dad), a little advice from an unlikely ally, and a whole lot of truth from God's awesome book, Flex might just turn his fear of failure into a performance befitting of the bard himself. Or at the very least, get KK to return his texts.
