It's funny that the second book in what is currently a trilogy is called Rule of Three, but knowing Megan McDonald and the three Reel sisters from these books it is very fitting. These books are wonderfully written and a pleasure to read. We get dropped into the Reel family. They run the local theatre. Mrs. Reel has a TV show called "Fondue Sue" even though she can't cook. The school play this year is a musical, and Alex, the oldest and family actor, decides she is not going to go out for the play. Stevie the middle child has always avoided the stage, but she loves to sing and has a great voice. She decides secretly that since Alex is not going for the lead in the play, she finally will go out for a play. But soon a Reel family civil war has broken out as Alex changes her mind and Alex and Stevie are fighting head to head and on all fronts.
The writing in these books is wonderful. It's like being dropped into a family. A family, in part, you wish you could have. A family that has struggles, fights, conflicts but in the end they are family and end up working through the issues and come out stronger and more united. The writing is excellent, the illustrations awesome. The combination of prose, illustrated journal entries and short plays are wonderful. If you have not read any of these books give them a try.
