A Star on TV, Lucy McGee, Hardcover Book, By: Mary Amato

A chance to be on TV brings out the worst in fourth-grader Lucy McGee--and now her friends want her out of the Songwriting Club! Lucy McGee and Phillip Lee are invited to perform a song on their school's morning show--this is their big break! First, they agree to keep it a secret from spotlight-stealing classmate Scarlett Tandy. But what about the other members of the Songwriting Club? Lucy forgets to tell them, setting off a chain of hurt feelings, a disastrous secret party, a runaway brother, and much more. The loveable but impulsive Lucy will have to write a lot of apology letters before everything can go back to normal. The delightful Lucy McGee series features a diverse cast of fourth and fifth grade characters who all love to sing and play the ukulele in the Songwriting Club; funny and sweet illustrations on every page; and song lyrics for aspiring musicians to try out on their own. Called Ramona-esque by the Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, Lucy McGee is sure to be a reader favorite.
