Azaleah's big sister, Nia, has been cast as Willa Wonka in the school
musical, and the entire Lane family is looking forward to the show.
Azaleah has even helped plan a surprise dinner party for Nia at Avec
Amour, Mama's restaurant. But then the real drama starts. At the first
rehearsal, all sorts of things go wrong: missing batteries, sets falling
over, props misplaced . . . It's so many things, in fact, that Azaleah
suspects foul play. And when the special effects on Nia's costume don't
work at dress rehearsal, Nia is a nervous wreck. To top it all off, the
high school journalism class is covering the performance for the school
blog, and the director doesn't have time to replace Nia's costume. Nia
has to wear it without the special effects. Azaleah becomes determined
to make sure the musical isn't ruined for Nia. Azaleah has to get to the
bottom of the mysterious rehearsal troubles, and finish party
preparations, before the curtain goes up.
