The main character of the book is a girl called Polly Price who ends up betting her enemies. She becomes the star of the show which makes Ophelia and Aurora, the enemies very angry.
What was your favourite part of the book and why?
my fav My favourite part of the book was when all the cast members and the whole studio went to the beach. Polly's enemies end up getting hurt and then one of them loses her voice from being too loud. It was so funny because then it meant that Polly had to take their place and gets to perform in the show. I also liked that it was a graphic book, which I really love reading.
Who was your favourite character and why?
My favourite character is Polly because she is not mean and horrible like the other two girls, even if someone was being nasty to her. She is also a good actor and very pretty as well.
What did you dislike about the book?
Nothing I loved it .
Was there anything in the book you would like to have seen written differently?
I wanted the relationship between Polly and Will to develop further, so that they ended up going out with each other.

How many points would you give the book out of ten?
I give it 10 because it was amazing!
So it looks like Polly Price's Totally Secret Diary: On Stage In America was a hit. I am now wondering why my Amazon account seems to have purchased the rest of the series. Sigh.
