In A Case of the Meanies, mean boy Joshua continues to plague Stella when he decides to have a birthday party at her parent's candy store. He invites everyone in the class EXCEPT her Stella has to figure out how to be a pleasant hostess when she's not on the guest list. It's just another day in the life of Stella Batts

Stella Batts is back

One of the best things about having parents who own a candy store is getting to be an official taste-tester. When her dad brings home Magical Glow-in-the-Dark Chewing Gum, Stella can't wait to try it out especially since her younger sister is already blowing bubbles and making magic-gum wishes that come true.

Except that gum seems to bring Stella bad luck.

First she can't even blow a bubble. Then she falls asleep chewing a piece and it ends up wadded in her hair, resulting in a drastic haircut. And now her best friend, Willa, announces she's moving clear across the country

It's hard to believe in any kind of magic when stuff like this happens. But Stella knows that when the going gets tough, the tough get going and that's exactly what she plans to do.

It's just another day in the life of Stella Batts
