Illustrated by
Jennifer A. Bell.
Stella is jealous when her little sister, Penny, is cast in the TV show they both auditioned for. On the day of the taping, Stella sets her feelings aside to comfort her scared sister. As usual for the series, the relatable story teaches an important lesson without being too didactic. Bell's sweet sketchlike illustrations fit the book's vibe nicely.
