STELLA BATTS #5, A Case of the Meanies
Guess what comes out this week!
My 8th published book-I can’t believe it-and the 4th book in the STELLA BATTS series, A Case of the Meanies. Stella is back, along with her sister Penny, and new best friend Evie; and, unfortunately, so is mean boy Joshua.
Once again, the book is beautiful illustrated by the amazing Jennifer Bell. Look at this cover-I can’t take any credit for it, but I LOVE it so much.
And here’s the flap copy:
Who knew you could catch a case of the meanies?
On Monday Stella’s teacher, Mrs. Finkel, says that everyone has to write a story for homework. Since writing is one of Stella’s favorite things, it’s certain to be a great week!
But then Joshua, the meanest boy in school, invites everyone in the class to his birthday party-everyone EXCEPT Stella. To make matters worse, the party is at Batts Confections-the store that Stella’s family owns! Shouldn’t that be against the rules? Stella’s mom and dad are busy making plans for the new baby, and they say they won’t cancel the party.
The meanies seem to be going around. Mrs. Finkel doesn’t like Stella’s story idea. Then there’s Stella’s little sister Penny, who had a fight with a boy in her class and stomped on his foot.
And Stella may just be coming down with a case of the meanies herself!
