The Problem with Being Slightly Heroic

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Abigail Halpin. Back from India, Dini (The Grand Plan to Fix Everything) is thrilled to be with BFF Maddie. Dini's favorite Bollywood actress will be in Washington, DC, too, and Dini tries to ensure the star has everything she needs (including an elephant). Both narration and spot art are light, and readers will relate to Dini's earnest efforts, even when they end in disaster.
