Spotlight Panic

Eleven-year-old Ava has a stutter that gets worse when she is nervous. She signed up to paint sets for the school musical, but when the lead actor breaks their ankle, the drama teacher discovers Ava can sing every song perfectly. Ava has 48 hours to decide: step into the spotlight or let the show...

Your name is Ava, and you are standing in the art room after school, carefully painting a cardboard castle turret bright purple. The school musical, 'The Enchanted Kingdom,' opens in five days, and the sets still need a lot of work.

You love being on the painting crew. Nobody watches you back here. Nobody notices if your words get stuck. You just paint, hum the songs to yourself, and feel perfectly happy.
