To all the readers out there who made another year of Mindy books possible. Thank you! <3
Chapter
1
My name is Mindy Kim. It’s finally summer, and my best friend, Sally, and I have really fun plans. We’re going to try out for a musical at our local community theater!
I’m so glad you want to audition with me this year,
Sally said with a wide grin. I’ve always wanted to, but I was too afraid to try out by myself.
The two of us were lying on her bed, staring down at Sally’s phone screen. She’d pulled up information about the summer musical, which was going to be Cinderella this year!
I wanted to go to Key West this summer, but Dad said we can’t afford to go yet. So I was glad that I could still have a fun vacation at home with Sally.
Of course!
I replied. I’ve never tried out for a play before, and I want to give it a shot.
The truth is, I was kind of scared too. Even though I ran for class president and tried my best to get over my fears, talking in front of a lot of people still makes me feel a little nervous. And singing and dancing in front of a crowd is probably a lot harder, so much so that it even scares Sally!
"When my sisters were in the musical a few years ago, they did Alice in Wonderland, Sally continued.
It was so fun! I’m sure this year’s play will be awesome too."
She tapped her feet in excitement before getting up from her bed. When she turned to look at me, I tried my best to smile. I must have not done a very good job of it, though, because Sally frowned. Hey, are you sure you want to audition for the musical with me? We don’t have to if you don’t want to!
I shook my head. I do! I’m just nervous about performing in front of a lot of people. And about the audition.
I’ve sung plenty in front of Theodore the Mutt, my dog, and played pretend with him and my stuffed animals all the time. But not in front of real-life people!
Sally sat back on the edge of her bed with a sigh.
I think it’s normal to feel that way when we’re about to do something new!
Sally said. "But it’s okay—we’ll have each other! I don’t know about you, but for me, just having you there with me will definitely help a lot."
I nodded. That was exactly what I thought too!
Suddenly I got an idea.
What if we ask another friend to join us?
I suggested to Sally. Then we’ll be even less nervous!
Sally smiled. She looked just as excited
