    Poor Sandra, an aspiring playwright, can't find a way to act on her celebrity crush. Which may be just as well. The description of Sandra's play is laugh-out-loud funny and her final response to "helpful" Linda suggests a dawning self-awareness and self-confidence. Truly a delight from beginning to end.

    "Never meet your heroes." A sweet, brief, sympathetic two-hander that asks a very important question, what would you say to the most inspirational person in your life in ten seconds? And the answer (spoiler alert) is nothing, leave them be, be glad you saw them, and don't be weird. And in today's social climate that may be the greatest lesson of all. Well done!

    A delightful and deeply relatable story. Sandra’s journey in finding her voice and the growth in her confidence was lovely to see. Ends satisfyingly with a great moral that is not soap-box heavy-handed, but instead earned. Youth theatre groups would have a blast putting this on!

    I’m a lot older than 15, but I think I would still be tongue-tied if I met Lin Manuel Miranda. This is a cute and clever story not only about hero worship but about finding your own voice. And one crazy app. Another wonderful TYA entry for Claudia Haas!
