Mystery book about the try-out period of a musical during the 1969 season.

Lots of fun.

Check it out here.

I REALLY wanted to read this book over my Winter Break for a book report but I couldnt find it anywhere. I went to borders and barnes and nobles and none of them had it in stock. The shipping would take forever too. I guess I'll read it for my next book report.

Jai - if you order it directly from the link in my first post - that's Kimmel's own site and you can get it in two or three days.

Peter Filichia wrote about it....and I know a couple of people who ordered it there and received it post haste!

Yea....right now on the site I think you get a CD of songs from the faux musical that Kimmel recorded - "Who Do I Have to Blank to Get Out of This Show" is pretty funny.

I read the excert and read the part about rain "like Ann Miller tapdancing on his head" and I new this wasf inally a book for me! Most books don't speak to me so I don't read that many so I immediately went to the Amazon website because my mother gave me an online gift card a couple of christmases ago that I never used because like I said I have never been a big reader but I am so psiched to get this I cannot wait.

Hi Sueleen! Haven't talked to you in a long time!

I don't think it's in stock at Border's.

The WB website is probably the only place you can get it and get it in time for Christmas right now....and probably just today....but I think Bruce inscribes it for you if you get there. Link in my first post....
