(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Inga Wilmink. With her confidence boosted after more magical stickers come to life, Martina Rivera (Sticker Girl) runs for student council. But when sidekick Craig (a bossy cupcake sticker) pushes her into campaigning for class president, Martina is well out of her comfort zone. Martina's earnest voice expresses friendship challenges and anxiety in a way that's both relatable and refreshing. Inviting grayscale illustrations complement the appealing everyday-fantasy; stickers included.

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Inga Wilmink. Painfully shy Martina Rivera's only friends are the stickers she collects--until some unusual additions help her overcome her fears. POOF!: these stickers (including a sleepy fairy and a sassy cupcake named Craig) come to life and creatively help "Sticker Girl" show her fun-loving "inner world" to the outer one. An appealing fantasy for young middle graders, especially the bashful; stickers included.
