Publisher's Synopsis
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?
Readers 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
"Jewel Kats does it again! She has the ability to shine a light on disabilities with characters that empower and inspire! And she does it in way that entertains thoroughly! Her optimism and sense of fun explode on every page!"
--Dan Parent, Archie Comics
"Miss Popular is a testament to young girls everywhere: guiding them through the issues of popularity, honesty and the fun of life! Jewel Kats has created a character that I would have loved to be my friend when I was a third-grader! Spectacular in every way!"
--Robin Marvel, author of Awakening Consciousness: A Girl's Guide!
"Right from the start of the book, it teaches children that it is okay to write out your feelings of things that bother you. Miss Popular has a humorous flow and teaches a lesson about the importance of honesty. Kats will show you that disabilities are a blessing in disguise and kindness is better than lies. If you are a 2nd or 3rd grader, this is a great book! Highly recommend for the easy-to-read story and the quality of Stenton's illustrations."
