Product Description
Goodbye, classroom! Hello, summer! But for Troy, Gabriella, Chad, and Taylor, this vacation is no day at the beach; they're all working at a country club founded by none other than Ryan and Sharpay's grandfather! And with the club's annual Midsummer Night's Musical right around the corner, Sharpay's competitive instincts are sizzling. If she can manage to win the Star Dazzle Award just one more time, the country club will name it after Sharpay, and it will be hers forever. But this year, Sharpay faces some tough competition-Gabriella! To have any hope of coming out on top, Sharpay knows that she'll need a secret weapon. She dumps Ryan and starts wooing Troy to be her new partner. Gabriella is less than thrilled that Troy has fallen under Sharpay's spell. How could he do that to her? Things are heating up on the lawns of high society. Will Troy and Gabriella realize that they're meant to be? Or is it already too late for them to sing one last song together?

4.0 out of 5 stars Summer Fun at Lava Springs, July 23, 2008

A Kid's Review

Say it is the last day of school and your teacher is talking like you have school tomorrow and it is early that day. Then it is almost summer...dinggg the bell rings and you schools out.

Friends from school get a summer job at Lava Spring Country Club. But not Sharpay and Ryan, sister and brother who compete in the Broadway musical. They are members at Lava Spring County Club.

As the story goes on Troy 'a guy that plays basketball, sang and likes Gabriella a girl that sang and likes Troy too'. promises to sing with Sharpay and does not want to. Troy starts acting different .Then Gabriella leaves. Will Troy be able to start being himself again or will he be this way forever and will he sing with Sharpay.

I like the book because I like how the story is written. I can connect to this because it is summer now and Sharpay has a dog and so do I. High School Musical 2 teaches you to be yourself.

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the better 'High School Musical' books, August 21, 2007

By	Julie Neal "The Complete Walt Disney World" (Sanibel Island, Fla.) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

A nice 'tween read, this little paperback makes it easy for your child to relive the story of High School Musical 2 without having his or her eyes glued to the tube. It's plenty visual, as it even incorporates the film's dance routines into its plot. For example, here's how it covers Ryan's baseball game:

"Even as the Wildcats tried to explain that they didn't dance... Ryan had them do some baseball moves... Then he turned the action into a high-energy dance step, and pretty soon the Wildcats were moving and grooving all over the baseball diamond. The improvised dance ended with Chad sliding into home plate."

With about 100 words per page, this is a book that will last, oh, maybe a day. There are also eight pages of color photos.

5.0 out of 5 stars bought this as a gift and it was a hit!, April 6, 2008

Along with the HSM cd I bought this book for my niece for her birthday. She enjoyed both gifts and I was pleased to see her so happy. There was a little mix up with the shipping, so she didn't get it before her birthday. Amazon was so nice about it that they upgraded the shipping to 2 day express. I will continue to order from Amazon.
