Gr 2–4—Aspiring child stars, watch out—Jules Bloom is back in her fourth installment. The intrepid third grader has been cast in a sitcom but quickly discovers that the acting life isn't all that it promises. Offscreen, the drama is ratcheting up, too: there's teacher trouble and homework woes galore. Feisty and fun, Jules is a charmer of a protagonist who encounters—and overcomes—realistic, relatable obstacles.
A new grade, a new teacher, and the premiere of her television show are all things that are stressing young actress Jules Bloom out. Once she learns to express how she's really feeling, things begin to fall into place--at school and on set. Jules's entertaining voice has been consistent across this series, and the fourth installment is not disappointing.
