The Biggest Star by Far (Katharine the Almost Great)

Katharine Carmichael's third grade class is putting on a play, Kids Rock in Space! But there's a problem: Katharine has stage fright-itis. Katharine hopes advice from Penelope Parks, her idol, will turn her into a fab-u-lo-so actor. When she gets the part of the sun--the brightest star by far--she gets a bad case of sassitude . . . just like Penelope! Will the big day prove once and for all that Katharine is the biggest star by far? Calico Chapter Books is an imprint of Magic Wagon, a division of ABDO Group. Grades 2-8.
