A school concert sounds like fun to Jake, who imagines himself scampering across the stage in a monkey suit, clashing swords with Jonah, and even playing a prince-as long as princesses are kept far away. When he gets the lead role in the school concert, he also gets a terrible case of stage fright. To make matters worse, Jake is going to have to kiss a girl in front of the whole school. Is his teacher really trying to ruin his life? Featuring a loving single-parent family and humorous illustrations, this story is sure to enthrall beginning readers.
