The sequel to the 2018 Watty Award winning novel MISFIT THEATER COMPANY! Having acting roles on "A Call from Midnight" was a game changer for the misfits, but Janie didn't realize it would change everything. Between a whole new theater experience at the start of their junior year, a performance of Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream," and opportunities in Hollywood, the misfits will never be the same. Can Janie maintain the confidence she found with her friends on her own? Or will everything fall apart?
