(2) 1-3 After-School Superstars series. Illustrated by Grace Zong. Third-grade best friends Nixie and Grace spend afternoons at Nixie's house, until Nixie's mom accepts her dream job. Nixie goes to "After School Superstars," and Grace, whose family can't afford the after-school program, now spends afternoons with classmate Elyse. Almost immediately, Nixie and Grace's friendship faces the strain of jealousy. Humorous vignettes from after-school cooking class lighten the story. Expressive black-and-white illustrations give newer chapter-book readers time to pause and process events.
