BACKSTAGERS ILLUS HC NOVEL (2025)

"Jory didn't know what to expect when he transferred to St. Genesius Prep, an all-boys school known for their incredible theater department. He ends up on the stage crew, or 'backstagers' as they like to call themselves, and discovers the magic that happens behind the scenes of each production. When some of the cast members decide to play with a Spirit board, the ghost light goes out. Ghost lights are supposed to protect the theater from ghosts sneaking in the shadows. The kids don't think too much of it. However, when they decide to put on the musical Phantasm, strange things start happening right away: a fallen light, a missing prop, a star with something to hide. Could there be evil spirits in the theater?"

"The Backstagers are back for a thrilling third act! They've dealt with the ghost haunting their theater and faced off against the sinister siblings trying to steal the famous Designer's Journal during their production of Tammy, but now, a mysterious masked man has taken all the ancient theater artifacts that they've collected. They don't know what he wants or how to stop him, but the Backstagers will have to use all their skills and know-how to solve the mystery and save the day!"
