You and Julie, your friend, are going to the live of The Martians. You can choose some the end. I chose one of the bad ending. I and Julie tried to pass backstage of The Martians but Julie couldn’t pass.  I could pass backstage and walk to see Hugo. Hugo, who is a singer of The Martians, have long-time girlfriend. However I found Hugo is insincere. He is kissing another girl!  How fool he is!! I was very disappointed by him. Passing backstage is danger. I ran and hid to see my hero. I took a risk for my hero but there was no here. I couldn’t restrain my anger. Thus I sold the information about Hugo’s first scandal. I didn’t regret selling the information but it made me sick. If I read this book again, I want to choose good ending to feel good. Ito, L. (2014). Backstage pass. Tokyo, Japan. Atama-ii Books.
