Acting Out Summary

Acting Out by Richard Peck

With a star-studded lineup of writers, there's a stage full of drama, comedy, and great storytelling waiting behind these curtains!

Sharon Creech spoofs a publishing office in The Raven, and the environment fights back against overdevelopment in Susan Cooper's The Dollop. Patricia MacLachlan puts a twist on detention in The Bad Room, and Katherine Paterson revives a classic fairy tale in The Billionaire and the Bird. Richard Peck has schoolboys doing their best to trick a spooky substitute in Effigy in the Outhouse, and Avi's Not Seeing Is Believing has words playing tricks on everybody. There's something for everyone in this all-star lineup.
