A funny and timely debut YA about the toxic masculinity at a famous
improv comedy camp
Seventeen-year-old Zelda Bailey-Cho has her future all planned out:
improv camp, then Second City, and finally Saturday Night Live. She's
thrilled when she lands a spot on the coveted varsity team at a
prestigious improv camp, which means she'll get to perform for
professional scouts--including her hero, Nina Knightley. But even though
she's hardworking and talented, Zelda's also the only girl on Varsity,
so she's the target for humiliation from her teammates. And her
20-year-old coach, Ben, is cruel to her at practice and way too nice to
her when they're alone. Zelda wants to fight back, but is sacrificing
her best shot at her dream too heavy a price to pay? Equal parts funny
and righteous, Unscripted is a moving debut novel that Printz Award
winner Nina LaCour calls "a truly special book, written at exactly the
right time."
