(4) 1-3 Classroom 13 series. Illustrated by Joelle Dreidemy. Ms. Linda's Hollywood-agent cousin comes to Classroom 13 to make the students stars. Like previous series books, each student stars in his or her own short chapter. As the students explore their talent (or lack thereof), most realize that fame is not all it's cracked up to be. Much of the humor feels forced, but the many-perspectives format is interesting and fast-moving.
