How far will Bix go to be popular?

A delightful and humorous diary account from Bix, a plain Jane from a struggling family trying to outdo and steal the third-grade classroom stage from Valerie, whose mother is a famous author. Miss Popular may be a wheelchair-user, but she knows how to charm the classroom, and her pink bejeweled wheelchair rules.

In a pique of frustration, Bix resorts to lies to steal the limelight from Miss Popular. She also announces that she will be having a puppy shower, and everyone except Miss Popular is invited. Can Bix pull it off?

Listeners will:

• Learn the importance of honesty
• Discover that being loved and being popular are not the same thing
• Find out how even a small act of kindness pays big dividends
• Learn how to rise above circumstances to be a better person
