What do you do when you’re afraid of the dark? Get a job as a lighting guy for your school’s theater production, of course! If only all of Adam Ziegler’s problems were so easily solved. But this is high school, and Adam’s suffered more than his fair share of tragedies—starting with the accident that killed his father and made Adam’s world go black.
But all is not tragedy in this parts-funny, parts-thoughtful send-up of high school (and high school theater). And Adam is a winning protagonist who’s determined to find light—on the stage, and in the rest of his life, too.
