Will I love Edith Holler?

Review: My goodness! This is a trip & half story.
Edith Holler is a 12 year old aspiring playwright. Her father has told her the playhouse will fall if she tries to leave the building. Then her father remarries a horrible woman with her swarm of beetles to infest
the city. She makes a local delicacy called Beetle Spread. But what *else* is in your tea cakes? Could it be Soylent Children?
Or you all be just another ghost haunting the theater? 60

l've no idea how this book hasn't reached the audience, like EVERYBODY, it deserves.

Edith Holler, 12-year-old playwright, amazes as both narrator and illustrator of the fantastical novel that bears her name. She begins her story in 1901 at the Holler Theatre of Norwich, where Edith has spent her entire life--literally, inside the building. Her father, actor manager Edgar Holler, has warned her that the Holler Theatre will crumble to ruins if Edith ever dares to leave its confines. But she takes her readers on a journey into every corner and crevice of that theatre, delves into the strange history of Norwich, and pens her theatrical masterpiece.
