Short by Holly Goldberg Sloan

4.0

Julia Marks Is Vertically challenged (She doesn’t like being called short). She Tries to look past this fact. When her mom forces her to try out for a musical she gets cast as a Munchkin In The Wizard of Oz, She finally realizes that it's not top bad to be short. In the Musical Julia makes a new friend. Olive is an adult and has dwarfism. They bond over the musical, and Julia falls in love with theater.


SHORT was a very good book. It had the right amount of excitement and humor. It was fun to follow Julia as she made friends, art, and music. It was a nice break from the monotony of young adult books. The only problem was the narration. I loved the style, but Julia sounded very young. I could tell the book was meant for a younger audience.
