Fourth-grade celebrity

I really liked this book. It is about a girl who tries to be really popular, but it is hard to be well liked when her older sister has the best reputation in the whole school. I mean come on, you and I both know it is annoying to always be compared to a perfect older sibling. The teachers always call her Van, her sister's name, and yell at her because she isn't perfect like her sister. Ya, I know that doesn't sound realistic, nobody's perfect. She wants for people to know her as herself. I found one problem with this book: there were no illustrations. Read the book to find out all the great details.

I read this book when I was 10. My mom got it for me as a birthday present and I loved it. I felt like Casey was a lot like me in that I wanted to make a name for myself. When I started fourth grade my popularity was decreased and I felt like nobody recognized me. Unlike Casey, I did not get the opportunity to run for class pres, or anything. But Casey was someone I looked up to and could identify with. She gets herself into all sorts of jams in this book and has such an imagination!
