(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Bill Cigliano. In this pleasant diversion for middle readers, Dorothy recognizes the role of a lifetime when she nabs the part of Tarzan in her class play. From the moment she auditions, Dorothy unleashes a wildness inside her, a primitive power that "made her feel she was not only in the jungle, she was master of it." Byars's laid-back narrative sets the tone in this slight, sitcom-ish novel that addresses small dilemmas rather than earth-shattering concerns.
