4-6Backstagers series.
Illustrated by
Rian Sygh.
In this series-starting novel based on the Backstagers comics series, the St. Genesius Prep theater techs and their new witch friend, Reo, battle ghosts in the dangerous, magical Backstage. Meanwhile, the tight-knit group of boys struggles with school-theater-love balance. Plenty of insider theater jokes are wrapped in a humorous ensemble story with wide appeal. Monochromatic spot illustrations and brisk pacing contribute to the readability.
