Take A Bow

Elizabeth Eulberg takes readers into the lives of four teens trying to rise to the top of an exclusive performing arts high school in New York City.  In a world where everyone is in competition with each other, the characters Emme, Sophie, Carter and Ethan have much more in your face lessons to learn on whom to trust in their rise to fame.  Readers will gain empathy for Emme, the true protagonist of the novel.  Self-confidence is what she lacks and it takes a two true friends and one soon to be ex-friend to propel her into the spotlight and literally find her voice.  Chapters alternate between the four main character’s voices.  Eulberg writes each one so uniquely that it is easy to follow the storyline that weaves them all together.  Real teen issues are incorporated, such as alcohol abuse, so that any students will enjoy this read, especially those in the performing arts.  Recommended for all high school and public libraries.
