"Drama" by Raina Telgemeier follows the story of Callie, a passionate middle schooler with a love for theater. As she navigates the challenges of friendships, crushes, and the complexities of the school play, Callie finds herself caught in a whirlwind of drama, both on and off the stage. With her talent for set design, she dreams of making the production a success while dealing with the dynamics between her peers, including budding romances and rivalries. The graphic novel beautifully captures the essence of growing up, self-acceptance, and the excitement of theater, all intertwined with humor and heart.
