    About A Star on TV, Lucy McGee

    A chance to be on TV brings out the worst in fourth grader Lucy McGee–and now her friends want her out of the Songwriting Club!

    Lucy McGee and Phillip Lee are invited to perform a song on their school’s morning show–this is their big break! First, they agree to keep it a secret from spotlight-stealing classmate Scarlett Tandy.

    But what about the other members of the Songwriting Club? Lucy forgets to tell them, setting off a chain of hurt feelings, a disastrous secret party, a runaway brother, and much more. The loveable but impulsive Lucy will have to write a lot of apology letters before everything can go back to normal.

    The delightful Lucy McGee series features a diverse cast of fourth and fifth grade characters who all love to sing and play the ukulele in the Songwriting Club; funny and sweet illustrations on every page; and song lyrics for aspiring musicians to try out on their own. Called “Ramona-esque” by the Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books, Lucy McGee is sure to be a reader favorite.

    Praise

    “Narrator Lucy’s a spirited, relatable character whose experiences, by turns funny and reflective, also touch on themes of being responsible and considerate. Appealing, expressive black-and-white line drawings and the kids’ weather-connected lyrics are peppered throughout. . . . an engaging, ultimately upbeat read.” —Booklist
    “Children who love some nonsensical fun, pranks, a little mischief, and made-up comical ukulele songs will enjoy.”—School Library Journal
