1992, Simon
(3) 4-6 The nine-year-old budding thespian is given the part of an artichoke in the school play as punishment for bad behavior, but Annie saves the play when unexpected hitches arise. In Swamp Monster, Annie adapts her artichoke costume to star in a high-school production of a horror movie. Brief chapters, childlike dialogue, and lots of silliness will appeal to middle-grade readers. Realistic drawings add to the books' appeal.
