Whether you loved it or not, remember how big High School Musical was years ago? From its simple beginning as a Disney Channel Original Movie, it grew into a massive franchise with sequels, a (real) stage musical version, concert and “On Ice†tours, videogames, comics and even a reality show.
And then there was the High School Musical book series launched by Disney Press that ran from 2006 to 2009. These ranged from junior novelizations of the three films and “Tales from East Highâ€, relating original stories of the HSM characters, all written by a stable of assorted authors.
That should do for background; let’s get to the list!
