In Pardon Me, Stella's best friend Willa moves away and ignores her; when Stella meets Evie, a new student from London, things begin to look up. Case finds Stella upset with "meanies," from Mrs. Finkel to class mean-boy Joshua, but Stella's sweet nature ultimately wins. Chapter-book readers will continue to relish Stella's playful narration in these third and fourth installments. Review covers these titles: Stella Batts: A Case of the Meanies and Stella Batts: Pardon Me.
