My Totally Epic Disaster Week (Dyslexia-Friendly)

The worst week of his life. or the one that changes everything. Facing the spotlight is hard. Listening to the voices in your head is harder. Thomas knows one thing for sure: he's never going on stage again. After one unforgettable disaster under the lights, he promised himself never again. So when summer arrives and he's forced to choose a holiday club, being stuck at a local drama group instead of cycling with his best friend, Nia, is the last thing he wants. But this isn't just any week, it's shaping up to be a totally epic disaster. Being back in a drama club brings the worries rushing in. The pressure to be perfect. The fear that all eyes are on him. Then things start to unravel and a falling-out with Nia leaves Thomas feeling more alone than ever. And yet, somewhere between warm-ups, laughs and new friends, Thomas feels it again - the spark he thought he'd lost. With the final performance fast approaching, and everything threatening to fall apart, Thomas must decide whether to keep hiding. or step into the spotlight, imperfections, disasters and all.
