Booklet Premise[]
Go behind the scenes of Disney Channel's hit movie High School Musical 2 and help the Wildcats make it through a busy, busy week at the luxurious Lava Springs Country Club.
Umbrella maintenance, sandwich construction, golf ball wrangling - it takes a lot of work to keep a country club running smoothly. With Sharpay Evans scheming to drive a wedge between Troy and Gabriella, it's gonna take a lot of work to keep the Wildcats dancing and singing smoothly too.
Will they remember the moves - and the team spirit - that make their stage performances sparkle? Or will Sharpay's selfishness finally split apart the friendship that makes the Wildcats sizzle? Just remember, you can still save the summer, if you can help the Wildcats work this out!
