Jules is a child star in a TV sitcom. She is starting 3rd grade, has a new teacher, and is trying to figure out just how she fits into things. School has lots of homework, friendships shift on her, and she is having difficulty with her TV character, Jules’s personality is buoyant even when events start to drag her down. The various obstacles she encounters with friends, family and school are realistic and her point of view is common to many third graders. Chapters are labeled as “takes” and the black and white illustrations are humorous. Jules includes many lists (similar to those in the Just Grace series) and the text is large and easy to read.
