The Seniors are finally graduating and preparing to move up in the world but first they have to get through just one more musical. Troy is doubting his future and whether U of A is the place for him, whereas, Gabriella has had enough of goodbyes and is considering holding going to Stanford off.

This was the best out of the three. It was just slightly more enjoyable and more entertaining. It did read like the film, but there were parts that I don't remember.

It might have been better had they show more had some lyrics to the songs in it - like they did in the first one - so that you could feel more of a sense of being there.

The characters had changed from the first one and it was enjoyable watching them go from Juniors to Seniors and graduating.

Their journey from Juniors, through the summer and working to Seniors and graduating hasn't been the easiest. There were lies, deception, jealousy, fallouts, romance and more and at the end of it they all become good friends - well sort of. show less

It's the summer holidays and the Wildcat's team needs to find summer jobs - each for different reasons. When Troy receives a call telling him about their summer student programme he mentions all his friends. Little do they know that they will be working at the place owned by Sharpay and Ryan's parents. The summer starts off to an okay start but when Troy starts getting privileges he doesn't understand why his friends are annoyed.

I read some of the other reviews and they've pretty much said show more that this slightly differs from the film. I admit it's been a while since I've seen it but the book read pretty much as I remember the film.

The characters really show their true self in this book. Sharpay is even more cattier and determined to get what she wants. Ryan realises he doesn't have to be at his sister's beck and call and can enjoy himself. The wildcats are determined to stick together until one breaks ranks. show less

Gabriella having met Troy at a New Year's Eve party whilst on vacation is stunned to see him at her new school. They plan on entering into the school's musical together but it seems that nobody, including their friends, can accept the change in the status quo. They both have to fight to be able to sing together at call backs when their friends and Sharpay and Ryan, The Drama Club kids, try their hardest to stop them singing.

This is the book of the first High School Musical film. It is almost show more identical to the film which you would expect.

Me and my niece both seemed to have enjoyed it but I did notice it had one of my pet hates in it - could instead of couldn't.

I found most of the characters were alright but some just got annoying. Sharpay was just constantly whining and Ryan was a brown-noser.

The pictures taken from the film were good, though. show less

theis book look like a great book
