(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Sharee Miller. With Nancy Ohlin. Best friends Shai (who's African American) and Emmie (white) audition for Once on This Island, the third-grade musical at their Atlanta performing-arts school. Shai's dreams of stardom are threatened when a new girl from Hollywood goes for the lead. Co-written by teenage actor Wallis, the story is rather pat, but aspiring actors will be drawn to this new series; grayscale illustrations provide visual breaks.
