Winning Monologs for Young Actors

Peg Kehret's middle grade books have won more than 50 state and national young reader awards. So these "scare-free" monologs are perfect for speech contests, acting exercises, auditions, or as part of a performance. Warm and funny, these monologs will feel "nontheatrical," and best of all real! Sixty-five characterizations include 16 written specifically for girls, 15 for boys, and the rest appropriate for either. Published to rave reviews, any young person will relate to these well-written monologs.

Sample titles include: My Blankee; Cafeteria Lunches; They'll Be Sorry When I'm Dead; Too Young For This, Too Old For That; The Last Day of Sixth Grade; I Though Ellen Was My Friend; What Will I Be When I Grow Up?; On Being Different.
