❝There was a prophecy. Left behind when the Darkness first crept away into the shadows, and the flowers of Eden were just blooming. A prophecy breathing of a girl. A girl with so much power in her veins and light in her voice, that God himself will bow to her... and three creatures will protect her, all born of loss and war; they will be the Knight, the Bishop and the Rook. They will be ready to protect her from the King at the other side of the chessboard: the one who seeks to control her. ❝So, tell me --how much do you really know of the stars?❞ -❈- Sam and Dean Winchester. Brothers. Legends. Hunters... Monster killers. They have been through it all, seen it all. They have fought Monster, Demon, Angel countless times. They have saved the world from total ruin over and over again. With the help of their trusty guardian angel, Castiel, they are known as unstoppable. Yes. They have faced it all... Or so they thought... Robyn Pimm is a normal sixteen year old girl. Growing up in England her whole life, she never thought anything could change. That is until she has to move to America. But doing so is a big mistake, because there is a secret hiding deep within Robyn. A secret not even she knows... A secret that, once revealed, can change the entire world. For she is the unknowing Queen on a chessboard... and no one knows which side she will rule. A story of guns, stars, pies, and everything in between...

Lewis Champion is in love--total, hopeless, unrequited love--with Jubilee Marshfield. Which is complicated, because she's his best friend. And even though his other best friend Shoe, and his awesome grandfather, Paps, are both rooting for him, Lewis can't get up the courage to tell her how he feels. He's always been a wallflower, watching people and making theories rather than acting on his feelings. In a last-ditch effort for her affection, Lewis acts in a play alongside his two friends, and he discovers a talent hidden within himself. But when Paps suddenly dies and leaves in his will a most mysterious task for Lewis, he must find a way to follow through. And along the way, he discovers the secrets of stories, the courage to say what he feels, and a whole new meaning to the word "acting." The only question is, will his best friend feel the same way, or will he lose her when he tells her? Baker Lawley, the award-winning author of THE BATTLE HYMN BLUES, spins a tale of love, drama, and friendship and a good old-fashioned road trip along the way. STEALING THE SHOW is a fun ride on the meaning of acting and the way stories and plays help us make sense of the things we act on.
