(2) 4-6 Ten-year-old Star Mackie enthusiastically founds the Trailer Park Club and even gets a person or two to join. When it fails, she starts a poetry club and discovers Emily Dickinson, whom she decides is like her big sister, who's attending "delinquent school." Herrera gives readers a front-row seat to all the embarrassment and angst of Star's jumbled life--and all of the triumphs.
