Secrets of a Fangirl

Praise for Lights, Camera, Disaster:

"Dionne creates a flawed, lovable, sympathetic character who, thanks to her support network, is ultimately able to become 'the director of [her] own story.' Readers will root for and relate to Hester." -- Kirkus Reviews

"The interspersing of scripts, pauses, and rewinds augments the reader's sense of how the world feels for Hester, and her self-advocacy offers a compelling model of empowerment." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"Hester learns to play to her interests, and her film about her classmates strikes a chord--making the point that kids are much more than their classwork and grades." -- Booklist
