The Story:
Francie's starting second grade, and could things get
any worse? She doesn't like her name. She
doesn't have the right lunchbox. And she's pretty
sure her teacher, Sister Ursula Agnes, is going to be
hard. To top it all off, she gets the worst role
in the school play. But when things go wrong at
the last minute, she discovers that there's more than
one way to be a star!
What critics say:
"Macdonald keeps the story moving with lively
dialogue and plenty of realistic childlike minidramas;
Christelow reflects her deft characterizations in
lightly humorous black and white art. A fine early
chapter book."
- Kirkus
"Macdonald has created a warm and witty family, who
may irritate one another but are always there in times
of need… a solid choice for those requesting a humorous
beginning chapter book."
- Publisher’s Weekly
