Shadow and Spotlight - Malachi Barton X OC

ON HOLD!!- due to mental health and college.

Harper Manheim has always lived in the background. The younger sister of Milo Manheim, she's spent her life following him onto set, soaking in the magic of Zombies from behind the camera, her heart full of admiration...and a little fear. But when Harper is cast as Nova in Zombies 4, everything changes.

Suddenly, the girl who once watched from the sidelines must step into the spotlight-balancing her anxiety, ADHD, and the pressures of fame with the excitement of her first leading role. Between navigating life on set, connecting with the original cast, and building an unexpected friendship with Malachi Barton and his childhood best friend Kamri, Harper discovers that growing up isn't just about taking risks-it's about finding your own voice.

From the thrill of filming to the chaos of the premiere, and from rehearsals for the Zombies & Descendants: Worlds Collide tour to performing in front of thousands, Harper's journey is full of laughter, tears, and moments that make her question if she's ready for the spotlight-or if she ever really wanted to leave the safety of the shadows.

Shadow and Spotlight is a heartfelt, funny, and emotional story about family, friendship, first love, and the courage it takes to finally step into the light.
